Well, feeling good 10 days into it. Healing at an amazing rate. Only thing that 'hurts' is the port area and gas up in the left shoulder region. Looking forward to switching to puree tomorrow. Got the okay to start driving. Good luck to everyone!

I;m right there with you Mary, Mine was the 11th too. Down 13lbs since surgery. It went flewlessly and it was my first surgery ever!. Saw the dr today. Looking forward to moving from the liquid diet to the Puree tomorrow! Good luck and hang in there! The gas pains suck!

I do it every morning too!

Hi, I was banded on the 11th. First time surgery ever. It went seamlessly. Saw the Dr today for the first Post-op visit. Incisions look perfect. Pain is from the port and Gas. The gas is from the inflation of your abdominal cavity for the procedure. It provides a space to make the procedure easier. It can take up to a few weeks. Others I've heard say a couple. I still have the pains, which seem to mostly migrate to my left shoulder and back. Hope this helps. Bob
