Hello! I am a bit of a newbie. I was banded this morning at 8:30. I was REALLY nervous and freaked out but my surgeon was great as well as the entire medical team. The worst part of the whole thing for me was waking up because the breathing tube was still in and I couldn't breathe, but after a few seconds, what I mostly felt was relief! As far as pain, I haven't had much pain at the incision sites (yet) but the gas is horrible! My best friend had the same problem and said what worked for her was rocking slowly in a rocking chair and moving her upper torso as much as possible. I have tried the rocking and it has eased the pain a bit. As someone who was super freaked out at the beginning this morning, I can truly say that it was not even close to as bad as I was imagining!
