I was banded on 2-17-2012 and will ho back to work on 2-29-2012 , I am a medical assistant and I am non stop all day and I am so glad I have gotten this time off because I am still having real bad shoulder pain.... I needed this time off...Yeah the heating pad helps me a ton.... I wish this week was over already...Thanks everyone, I have four incisions an yes the gas pain is terrible.... I have dropped 5 pounds so far and this is day 3 post op.... I do find that a heating pad Works great for my gas pain....I am 2 days post op, I was in a lot of pain afterwards but is was mostly due to the gas that is used to inflate the stomach. I have been getting enough liquids, no nausea or vomiting, and no bowel movement yet?? I couldn't get rest the first night after surgery but lastnight I wore a support belt around my tummy and it really helped and was able to get sleep... Thankfully the whole procedure went smootly...I'll be banded on the 17th but I'm finding this pre op partial liquid diet to be tougher than anticipated.....
