hi i was banded on may 1st and i had the same exact problem,but my doc opereated on the that day, they had to cut my somach off of my throat and reattach muscle tissues and move my stomach down from where my throat is to where its supposed to be. And i was basicly all reorganized on the inside. I couldnt walk for about the first 3 weeks just to get up to go to the bathroom. And i would cough because there was flem in me but i couldnt cough hard enough without crying because it hurt so bad. So i had that stuck in me. It took me 4weeks to be able to sleep in my bed normally before that i was in the recliner and it took me 2 months to feel a reduction in the amount of pain..the problem for me was none of my pain meds worked. in the hosp they told me they gave me 90 shots of morphine and i was still in extreme pain. so its now 5 months after my surgery and i have still not done any abdominal excersizes i am still very sore if i bend down too much or carry heavy things so maybe in a few more months.
