Hi there, I was banded on Thursday and was miserable. I had pain in my back and in my shoulder, it is gas. I didn't take any medication just the rubbing and moving around, the gas came out little by little.I still cant burp but the air pocket going down my chest has gotten better. I feel your pain, dont worry. It sucks.
I'm so glad to have read your message. I had my surgery 4 days ago and was regretting this as well. While still in the hospital I wanted to tell the doctor to take this thing out of me. I have been very uncomfortable and hoping it is just gas, but I also have a pain going down my chest everytime I need to burp and cant. As reading everyones responses Im looking forward to feeling better. Is it normal to start craving food after 4 days of surgery?
