Wow! Good to know that it's normal. THANK YOU everyone! Can't wait to get back...zzzzzzzz

I am on broth, etc., but I am also taking vitamins every day. The strange thing is that it's gotten worse the past few days. 3 or 4 days post-op wasn't so bad. Now (8 days), it's really a struggle.

Banded on 4/29/10. I have a bit of itching, but nothing as bad as you've experienced. I notice there's a bump at each of my incisions. Guess everyone's a bit different!

Thanks so much for the encouragement! It happened again today. Decent night's sleep. 2-hour nap at noon. 1-hour nap at 5p. I'll try to be patient!

First let me say how awesome everyone is on this website. I've mostly been a lurker, but found the info and experiences invaluable. I was banded last week (4/29/10). So far, most of the reactions everyone else has shared - gas, shoulder pain, chest tightness (sometimes), etc. One problem I'm having a hard time dealing with is being tired. It's ridiculous! Fortunately, I work from home. I couldn't have made it in an office! I'll have an OK night's sleep and then need to take a 2-hour nap at lunch time. Is this common? If so, when does it go away?!? Zzzzzz.......

I was banded on 4-29-10. Glad to hear I'm not the only one dealing with bloating and energy. I am CONSTANTLY tired! Now that I know I'm not alone, I'll hope it goes away soon.
