Hi everyone..this is my first post on the blog.. Yesterday i had my lap-band® procedure done by the amazing Dr. Timothy Ehrlich at Griffin Hospital in CT ..im taking in liquids really well and only felt a little bit of nausea right after surgery, but otherwise i am just feeling really sore in my abdominal area. Does anyone know how long it takes for that pain to go away?? Any input is appreciated! Thanks! :biggrin:

    Mine lasted 3-4 days and then I was feeling good. I was still a little sore about 10-14 days out but nothing like the first few days. I slept kind of sitting up and it helped a lot. Mostly low sodium chicken broth, sugar free jello, warm tea, water and sugar free popsicles! oh and don't forget the gas x it helps sooo much and walk to get the gas moving!

    Mine lasted 5-8 days. Try V8 juice as I did. Soups. Then mushies: mash pot's, pork and beans. Good luck on your journey.

    HEALTHY111 said it exactly right . . . every day should get a little better, but walking and GASX are very beneficial. Best wishes!

    Walk often. Helps with the gas as well as prevents blood clot issues post surgery. Hot pads. Liquids. Rest. And yeah!!! You did it! Celebrate the success :-)
