Normal to have severe pain when sitting along diaphragm or pain at apex of diaphragm. WAS severe after surgery, but still there and I wonder when it will pass hoping to get better each day but at a gross standstill

yup!! I was just banded 2/4 and feel it when I sit or twist

kmarie, Do you have pains still? did your doctor think you were rejecting the band? Is there and infection? Have you been filled yet?You can take it out at anytime and it is an open procedure.

Michellie9003, I had my surgeery on the fourth too na dwhen I sit I feel alot of pulling inside and an occcassional twag of pain. I am driving Monday and going back to work monday for the fist time and I am very nervous.

Jaxbandster, Congratulations, sounds like your doing great. Keep up the good work. Great weight loss.

Thank you all for your help. I am having less pain today, but now I wonder if the annoyance and soreness is from the steri strips. ugggghhh.Good news though, down 6lbs, since surgery worth hte discomfort to see the scales move.

smsmom, I was banded on the fourth too, a little sore when transitioning, but I am not ready as of today to go back to work if I had to.You? do you have any pains?

michelle9003, I am newly banded and the doctor toldme this was air and is normal .

Applesmith 1226 and other new bandsters, congratulations. the soreness will pass each day.

you will be fine,just get it out of your system.Post op diet is hard enough with some withdrawal and pain, start your preop diet before surgery so it is not a shocker and fisrt nature after the band.Good luck.

jaxbandster, Good luck to you and all the lucky number sevens today. Hope you have a smooth recovery.

Good luck to all the feb 6th bandsters. You'll come out tomrrow on the losers bench with the rest of us.

Hi everyone! I wish alll of you the best. I have been waiting to be banded since august because of my insurance co, and I was finally banded yesterday. I would not consider any bad foods, just knowing all we have to go through to get to this point. I'm a little sore but soooo happy t is over.

Hey ! How are all those newbie bandsters doing today? I am 1 day post banding and feeling a little sore. Walking tons is helping. It is the getting out of bed and from a sitting position that hurts me the most now.Hope that passes with time. Not a bit hungry and even down a few pounds, probably water weight.Hahah HOPE ALL THE BANDSTERS ON THE THE 4TH,and 5TH ARE DOING WELL.GOOD LUCK TO ALLTHE BANDSTERS GOING TOMORROW!!!!

Hi I am so glad you shared the tea and walking ideas.I was just banded yesterday and the more I walk the less pains I have been having. I still have a lo of pain with siting up to get ou of bed . Is that just time that makes that better ? any suggestions.

Congratulations on your banding. I am going tomorrow am. Keep posting, everyone has been very helpful. I'm going to get some bubbles.

4Jin Good luck to you. I am being banded too at 8am. Getting excited as the wait is over for us a nd a new beginning for the double v's. Keep me posted on how you're doing. I will do the same.

Thanks Shortgal! Your words are encouraging as I am to be banded tomorrow and will sign off the boards shortly.

You look beautiful! I am being banded on Monday February 4th. Do you have any advice for me?

Walk, walk, walk. My friend was just banded and she uses a heating pad to relieve some belly discomfort and walks to get the gas out. I hope your feeling better. I'm going on Monday the fourth.

I told my office I was having a hernia surgery and that ended that.

Thanks.Good luck to you. Love the glitter
