Today is Better!

So glad to hear you are feeling better! Sounds like you are giving yourself a break. That's good news. I found my body didn't do as much as I wanted right away either. I was on the pain meds 5 days I think. Sleeping really helped too. I was bored by the time I could move around the way I wanted to. Hang in there!!

I'm glad you are feeling better! Rest, relax and give yourself time to heal. You've been through a lot -- congratulations on getting to this point and keep your chin up! It will get better by the day (actually hour sometimes!).

So glad you are feeling better. Everyone heals differently and from reading these blogs, everyone's surgery was done differently. Some of us had 3 incisions, others had 1 to 7! I know you are sore, but while watching TV, get up during commercials and walk as much as you can. You must get up and move - it will make the healing easier.

Welcome to the rest of your world and the greatest journey you will ever be on.

I was banded on Tuesday and the past 4 days have been horrible. The gas pain hurts its been mostly in my shoulders and I can feel the heaviness of the port.. is that normal?? I have 5 incisions which aren't bothering me its just the gas pain and the port!! I hope you are healing well- I know it takes time I just can't wait to get out of the phase!

Best wishes for a speedy recovery. Thinking of you. imaluckydog
