That a tough one. I sleep on my back propped up on like 8 pillows. I tried layimg on my side but it was to painful to get up.

This just started today..i think i was on my feet to lonng. I have a sore/pain feeling in my somach on the upper rt. I get refeif when i lay down propped up on pillows. But when i get up its back. Maybe im using to much of my stomach muscles when i get up. Its also uncomfrtable to bends over and pick somethimg up off the floor. Is this just a part of healing?

Awkright i give you credit for going bk to work today. I was banded on the 14 As well and know i could not have gone bk yet. I can totally relate to feeling of not beig able to sit for long period at a time. I hope your pains go away.

I think it depends how you feel. I walk down my drive and to the end of my street and bk. If i feel up to it i repeat it.

Thanks you all mad me feel better!!

I know its normal to be sore but on what day does it get better? I ve been walking but feel very tired week and sore. My surgery was on the 15th

thanks.... ill try that,now

I was banded friday to. My doc told me to pu Meralox in one of my shakes or drinks once a day. I had a bowel movement this am. Is anyone having headaches?

i agree walking has made me feel much better!

Try sipping,more water. It will help with the returned water.

Yes it does take a little while to get them down. They told me no longer then 1 hour. They gave me a tip and said 2 ounces every15 minutes. I have a question for you. What do you mean ur cooling us? Do you heat it up.

Just corious im on day 1 and my oc has me on 3 shakes starting and liqs today. Was this normal for you guys to? I see most people did not start shakes till wk2.

lesile i was terrified (especialy) after reading other peoples stories. Let me just tell you its really not that bad. The worst part so far is the soreness...but no worst then doing a bunch ot sit ups. Good luck. Keep in touch.

thanks

All went well, my doc even fixed a hernia! A little sore, but drinking water, taking meds and resting. I hope tomorrow is just as good. I still an beleive its done. Excited to begin this journey.

Getting even more ecxited to be banded on Friday! im glad we all have each other for support.

Ahh that great

Its been a long jurney. Tomorrow i will get my surgery date and i feel cold feet coming on!!!! So, i went to the site and googled some questions... everything i read was negative. Ughhhh not what i wanted to hear. I know im ready to make the changes and commitment. Im most scarred of throwing up daily, not being able to eat with others, not loosing any weight all (i read a few stories where people said they never lost weight),etc... Can anyone share a positive expereince?

i found out friday i got approved! tomorrow i will get the date!!!
