Talked to Drs office. They said most people take 1-2 weeks off and everyone is different. That is the incision that people have the most tenderness with nothing to be worried about and to take a few more days to heal. They are going to call me tomorrow to check on me and if its not better by the end of the week they want to see me.

Stay positive! I was crying myself after my boss had me scared... Then I thought.. What the heck would she know about it? Girl we are all here with you... I don't know you personally but would give you my number and we could just chat!

Look at this change in 16 weeks. SO BE THE CHANGE YOU WANT TO BE. You got this.

You will be sooo happy in a few weeks that you did that!!

Had a bm! Never been happier! Lol

Awesome! Proud of you! Doesn't it feel good to do something for you?

Me too. The only significant pain I've got currently (4 days post op) is at one of the incisions. Oh Lordy it keeps me up (and walking) because sitting and getting back up off the couch is just not fun.

Good for you! I cried and had a pity party for myself, then a great friend callled me and we played a game online together and all of the sudden I realized I can get thru this and this is just the test to see how strong I am! I am still flat on my back 3 days after surgery, and not seeing me get out of this recliner to make it back to work MondY!
Keep your chin up! We are in this journey together!

3/19 for me. I have had more pain than I thought I would but I know this, too, shall pass. I'm on Clear Liquids for 2 weeks but I'm not really hungry anyway. I have recognized the 'head hunger,' though, and will continue to spar with it, I'm sure. Went to a party last night where there is always a lot of great food. Wasn't tempted at all. Sipped on my G2 and enjoyed conversation. Triumph #1 for me!

As of yesterday, the 21st, I am among the lap banders. I am little sore in the chest and shoulders, but its nothing I haven't prepared myself for. I am really excited to start this journey.

I believe I felt that pulling sensation when I turned wrong or layed the wrong way... lots and lots of pillows help to! Good luck and hang in there!

sounds like you are healing and scar tissue is forming..i was (tender) for about a month..no pain, just tender..it will get better..just go slow

Try to relax while you can. Many of us slept in recliners for a few days.

Had my first cup since Monday, too. Nursed it till it was cold but it was good!

Awesome job!

I am trying to figure this out.. I was just banded Tuesday, but I am not getting much down. I feel tight in my stomach and have only had 1 Protein Shake and some water.. My tummy grumbles like its hungry but I am almost convinced its the gas dispersing. Does this sound normal?

I did it! Surgery went great no complications and feel good! Woo Hoo I did it!
