Hi y'all! I was banded October 10th and doing pretty good. On mushy foods and go next week to the dr. I feel pretty good but a little hungry at times. I have lost 11 lbs. since my surgery. Just trying to keep my head in the game!

take regular Vit. E. capsules and with clean hands and clean scar areas pop the vit E capsule and take the liquid in a small medicine cup and rub the vit. E. into your scars. The vit. e is kinda sticky but it helped to fade my scars considerably. My ugally purple scars are now almost faded and not so gristly looking. I did the vit. e. treatment for about six weeks daily after showering.

I was banded 10/11/12 and have the same chest tightness, like I need to burp but can't. I also still have terrible shoulder pain, but my abdomen isn't bothering me at all. I'll feel great when my shoulder pain goes away....my husband offered to stomp my toe so I'd forget about my shoulder...lol...I declined.

Congrats on your surgery. Remember to take your pain meds, use Gas X strips or chewables for the gas pain, walk around a lot, sip Water all day long and take it easy. A heating pad was also my best friend after my surgery a month ago. We are all here for you!
Best wishes.

I am post op day 1. I was able to go home day of surgery. I am very sore today. I have only experiences one episode of the shoulder gas pain. I got up and walked around my living room several times and it dissipated. I can not lay down comfortably. So I slept on the couch sitting upright last night. Trying to sip sip and sip. I'm so afraid of getting nauseated but I haven't been yet. My abdominal binder and pillow are very helpful. I'm definitely ready to get back to normal but I am doing pretty good I think!!!

Well things are much improved I'm glad I took the extra days off. Still have pain on the left side and I am very swollen still. But I am still alive!! Lots of gas. I finally slept all night. My first post op is today.
