Regarding sleeping, I slept in the recliner for the first 3 or 4 nights and used pillows to prop. When I moved to the bed, I slept on my side with a pillow between my knees, a pillow in front of my belly, and a couple of pillows under my head and neck. The pillow between my knees and the one in front of my belly helped so much, not sure why ...I guess it keeps everything in alignment:) I'm normally a stomach-sleeper. Good luck!

For LB Veterans... I am 5 days post-op, doing great with no complications whatsoever thus far. I have noticed one strange thing since my surgery. Almost every time I brush my teeth I become very nauseated, sometimes gag, and have to "concentrate" so not to throw up. I have never, ever had this problem. Has anyone ever experienced this? Is it all in my head? So weird! So not pleasant:0 Thanks!

Thanks for the input everyone! No problems brushing this morning! Finally!
-
Well, hopefully it's temporary;) Tomorrow is a new day! Thank you!

Tomorrow is the big day!

Good Luck!!! -
I'm on day 4 post-op, and day 3 was the worst fir me (and even then was not so bad). I agree the heating pad and walking have been most helpful. Good luck!

Great job using your MIND rather than your EMOTIONS to make your decision! Good for you!!!

Thank you for the reminder! I'm on day 3 post-op. I think it's the anesthesia that's kicking my butt...can't seem to get out of the fog. I'm only taking Tylenol since yesterday morning. -
I was banded yesterday! I was so sore and nauseated last night, but I'm feeling so much better this morning! Thankfully I've had none of the terrible gas pains that so many people report! I've loved reading all the posts on this forum! Good luck to all the March bandsters!
-
Thanks everyone! No problems sipping or walking at this point. I'm gonna stop the Lortab and change to liquid Tylenol my next dose do hopefully the foggy brain will go away!

March 8th is my day! I'm ready to DO THIS!!! -
Hey y'all!!!! I actually have been living in Kentucky for about 3 years, but I'm really an Alabama girl. I'm researching WLS, particularly lap band, and am attending an informational seminar tomorrow. Best wishes to you all in your weight loss journeys!
