Hi I was banded 7 days ago and it does get better. The most difficult pain was the gas, I'm not sure if that is what ur experiencing but I also had a lot of grumbling gas. What helped me was walking every hour and going to the bathroom a lot! the week has went by fast eating/drinking enough has been my challenge. maybe u should let ur doctor know, mine was very supportive when I called with questions. Good luck to you and congradulations!
