Awww, I feel so bad for you. I don't know if this is normal or not but I had had 3 c-sections before I was banded and the banding surgery was the worst pain I ever felt. Listen to your body, if it tells you something is wrong, go get help. Maybe a second opinion from a different doctor?? Hope you feel better soon. I know how you feel, I had my surgery sept 28, 2011, and it's a tough recovery, hang in there.
