Day 2

I had the band put in on Tuesday and OMG I feel so awful!!!! Pain meds only help for a very short time. I feel like I cant breathe. I have so much air in my body that I cant drink but an once every few hours!!! I know it is only up hill from here but right now I feel like I have been ran over!!!! Praying for a super fast recovery.

Bummer. Sorry to hear that! The pain meds don't help much with the gas. It sounds like you need GasX and lots of walking. IT will get better. I felt better after NOT taking the pain meds and just working on the gas. I do believe that is the majority of the issues. Good luck!

It will get better! It does take time to heal. I was so dumb about the whole thing, I thought it was just gonna be a minor deal! It wasn't.
