  1. I was banned on the 3rd' date=' pain finally got better yesterday and is even better today. Several people told me that I would feel a lot better by day 7.. They were so right. Hang in there, I hope it gets better really soon![/quote']

    Your so right ! Today is my 6/7 day & I have no pain what so ever. I can't wait to start walking on the treadmill .


  2. Banded yesterday. Definitely uncomfortable today. But they also did a hiatal hernia and had to fix a bleed on my left side. I am trying to get used of sleeping on my back. The pain med will certainly be my friend today.

    I know how you feel. I had a very hard time getting used to laying on my back. Little by little you can lay on your side. Then for short periods of time on your tummy. Don't worry its all worth it :)


  3. I'm on my 4th post surgery day and I'm still in a lot of pain. I tried to go to work today and had to come home. Everything was such an effort' date=' I was short of breath and sweating. I'm worried. I have not really consumed anything but Water, juice and a fruit smoothie. Do I need to try something more substantial?[/quote']

    Hmm the problem could be that you dont have enough Protein. Are you drinking your Protein shake ? About every 4 hours you should have 4 oz. The one from GNC is pretty good ( whey isolated 28 ) mix with Water. Maybe that will help

  5. CONGRATS!! I was banded Jan 30 and it took me about a month or so until the port pain went away...just don't hang out with any funny people' date=' cause if they make you laugh, you'll soon be crying from port pain!![/quote']

    Omg your so right. I learned the hard way. My boyfriend took me to go see 21 jump st the next day out the hospital & I had so much tummy pain!


  6. I know how you feel. Iv been thinking about getting the band since I hit 18. Now I'm 19 & I got banded on 4-4-12. I didn't really tell to my parents about it. I just went along & did everything on my own, they didn't mind since it was for my health. It's only been 2 days & I'm recovering pretty fast. Just sucks that I can't wear jeans yet or leggings. If you really wanna loose weight ill say go for it. It's going to be hard since we are still young & New at this. But I'm learning little by little & remember it will be worth it in the end. :)
