Well it is day five for me now, and its getting better. I am hungry most of the time but I just try to pass the time. I am just really sore and my incisions hurt quite a bit. I try to get out everyday and get some exercise and I think this helps. Well...thanks for all the input and I will keep you posted on my progress.

I was just banded on Monday, and I must say it wasnt exactly like I expected. I have researched alot, and from most forums ppl say they were only down for a few days and had no problems. Its not Thursday, and I cant bend over or anything. I am in pain most of the time, and have lots of gas that just swells up in my belly. To be honest with you, I didnt think it would be this painfull. I really expected to bounce back pretty quickly. My appetite is starting to come back and I am hungry all the time. I havent and wont cheat though. I want to use this to its full advantage. I only took a week off of work, but am thinking I should have taken more time to heal. I am just ready for these two weeks to be over so I can just be comfortable. Did anyone else have really bad gas, and lots of pain for more than a few days?
