My dr said I can take extra strength Tylenol but NO ibuprofen...do y'all think Tylenol PM is ok to take? I have a headache & can't sleep:(

Ok, not too be gross but I want to talk about 1st poop after surgery:) lol my sister told me her 1st poop was "EPIC" first a hard plug of poo came out after pushing like she was giving birth and then the test came flooding out and she felt a zillion times better... Tonight, a day after my surgery I finally passed some gas and my tummy hurt so bad, I felt something trying to come out and a pushed, and almost cried for an hour (afraid I was gonna pop my glue stitches) and finally a couple little balls came out..I feel better but there's more stuck in my stomach:( I want the sweet release my sister experienced:( Any similar experiences fellow October Bansters? Advice? Sincerely, S.O.L

Wow! Good for you!!! I also got banded yesterday and feel like I was hit by a bus from the waist up ! Grrrrr.... Head, shoulder, back ache and port area also pain in my chest where breathing tube was...and I'm usually a tough cookie! I'm feeling better as time passes and no problems with liquids or gas:)

I'm in 8hours!!! Sending love & prayers mamma xoxo keep me posted;)

Oh no momma! Don't let me scare you!!! All the veterans posts have eased my fears, we'll be fine let me know how it goes xoxo happy thoughts!!!!

I'm kinda freakin:( Banded at 10am tomoro, my sis was banded six days ago everything fine..some shoulder pain/gas for a few days. Sis told me she had trouble breathing right after surgery & woke up lost & disorientated.... But didn't last long. This is what's freaking me out WAKING UP AFTER SURGERY:( I'm a nervous nelly in general and make MYSELF mentally crazy...I'm not afraid of pain, had c-section, nose-tounge- eyebrow-&nipple pierced, lol, no problem! It's the breathing, waking up out of anesthesia & freaking out, and feeling weird gas bubbles in places like my chest & back.......ahhhhhhh

My sister was banded today & her biggest complaint was her shoulders? Wtf? Not her stomach, her shoulders??? Weird...any idea why that may be?

Lol, hey I prayed for a fart last time I was hospitalized!!! I'm not afraid to fart & poop! It's important to get those toxins out of our bodies....plus hurts like hell
