I was banded on the 20th. I started regreting it whiling waiting for the surgery to start. I spent the night at the hopsital because my sergery did not take place until about 8pm. I was in pain the day after sergery but I was okay. About day 3 the gas started in my back and then up to my neck. The pain was so severe in my neck that I thought that I was gonna die. All I could do was lay down. Everytime I sat up the pain would come back very strong. I started regreting it again. Today the pain is bearable without meds. And looking at the scale which is 10 pounds less than the day of surgery. Everything is going good now so just hold on it will get better. I don't know if it is my mind but I feel like i can feel the band inside me. Can you? Well keep your head up as we go on this journey together. GOOD LUCK!!

Hi Everyone, I am new to this site. I had RNY in 2002 and I lost alot of weight. Over the past couple of years I have put some back on. My doctor says that my stoma has stretch. One way to fix the problem is to add a band. I was wondering if anyone here has been in the same situation? Any advice or input would be helpful. Thanks in advance!
