I just got banded yesterday (May 11th) I am wondering how long the soreness will last because although I'm less sore today than yesterday, I wonder if I'll be healed enough three weeks from now when I visit the Dr. for the first fill. Pls share your experiences with me regarding your first fill and if it hurt from the surgery. thx in advance.

Hi there,

Just got banded on the 11th of May and today is Day 2 Post op. I am less sore and swollen today. I attribute this to moving around on the day of surgery and the day after. The mobility I've been told helps with soreness.

Got up at 4:30 AM to head to the hospital.

Got in quick and was in surgery before I knew it.

Woke up white as a sheet (so they said) but no sickness or soreness in my shoulder or back as reported widely.

Glad I've had it done.

I am swollen however.

Hoping tomorrow is better.

Good luck to all.

The flip side is a good place to be.

I SO know the feeling of anxiety over the decision on whether or not to get the lap band or not. I have a surgery scheduled for the 11th of May but I have wrestled with myself every night on if this is the right decision or not. I think I will be happy with it but there's just a lot riding on my decision. I hope that getting it makes me as happy as all the others before me. I am pretty sure at this point that I will go through with it come hell or high Water. (In our case in Nashville, high water) tee hee

I just feel so awful that you had to endure that situation. I am about to have my surgery on the 11th of May and I haven't really gotten outside to do any fitness training yet but was thinking of joining a gym. I just hope I don't get the stares that come with it. Ya know... "the stare"

That's crazy rude. Best of luck with your LAP-Band

Ohhh snap! You got it girl.

I feel the same way, I'm on day 4 and I haven't lost a single lb. I feel like pulling my hair out but I feel better knowing there's somebody out there whose body is reacting the same. BTW, I guess it's just a coincidence but our stats are almost identical. I am 5'4 and I weigh 304 so I'm at the same BMI as you. I'm from TN so us Southern gals need to stick together. :smile:
