Day 3..after surgery

Good morning..today is my 3rd day since I had my band and I have to say that I feel pretty good. I didnt take any pain meds in the hospital and I was told to take Tylonel extra strength. It seems to work just to take the edge off. I was reading about the swelling and wondering how long it takes to go away? I feel good, and I am wondering if that is normal!!:thumbdown:

Hey There, Jenn30, I am 7 days PO and I have not had any trouble at all except for the gas, and even that has not been so bad! I am going to start on my treadmill today very slowly. No Pain Meds for me either. My swelling is down considerably as of yesterday. My belly button looks like a belly button again. The area above where my port is is still a little tender and swollen but not much! All the best to you! Cheryl
