Always great help from all, THANKS FOR GIVING ME YOUR EXPERIENCE.

1st Fill, is pain and discomfort around the banded area normal, if so, for how long?

Stay positive, NO MATTER WHAT! :-)

Thanks for all the great suggestions.

I'm not using the restroom daily, I started soft food on Monday and have not used the restroom since Sunday. I have only been able to eat soft fruit and veggies, meat upsets my stomach. I am still not doing number two.

Try a laxative, let me know if it works.

My headaches are front forehead, I broke down last night and too ibuprofen, took all pain in about 15 minutes, feel better.

My shoulder pain has not completely left me and it's day 6, I have no nausea or hunger pains and I'm still on the liquid diet, what I feel is weakness and discomfort, and that freaking shoulder pain . My stomach is sore but it hard for me to focus on that because of my SHOULDER! LOL. Thanks for letting me vent.

I have support from my friends and family, I just wish someone would have warned me about all the pains involved. We will be okay and this too shall pass......PRAY.

Okay, thanks

Wow, thanks y'all. I needed to hear from each of you and yes, I am on that very strict liquid diet for two weeks post op, I wanted some kind of food today after my headache started, but I came home and had half a protein shake and a pain pill and went to sleep, I lost approximately 12 pounds pre op and I will purchase a scale to see how much post op and let y'all know. Much Love!

Are you eating regular food, or are you still on the liquid diet?

My left arm feels like it was dislocated while in surgery, my stomach is really sore, I can only sleep about 4 hours at a time and I'm unhappy, this has to be the storm before the calm. Today I have a headache, Lord help me please.
