I had my surgery on the 19th (3 days ago) and I drove today. I did not take my pain meds today so when I came home I really was uncomfortable and could not wait to take them.

I just got banded on August 19th. I am in my third day of recovery and feeling pretty good.I finally left the house and worked for an hour and could not wait to get home so I could take my pain medication. I am beginning to feel all of the odd stuff in my stomach. Had to get meds from doctor today since my incision site was red and I was worrid it would get infected. I am getting all of my protien and liquids in. I am on a 3 weekliquid only diet but I have many flavors of drinks and soups that I am happy with. I hope the bloating goes down soon and the gas goes away. I am not hungry yet.

My BMI was only 31 but I decided to get banded anyway and stop hating the way I looked. I paid cash for the surgery and just had it done 2 days ago. Looking forward to seeing that cash make a positive difference in the way I feel.

Greetings, This is my first post. I just got banded on 8-19-10 and have been taking it easy in bed and walking around as much as I can. My doctor was wonderful (Dr. Cirangle in SF). I had a quick and tidy surgery and was out 6 hours post-op. I was given liquid Vicoden and another pain medication that comes in tiny baby sized pills and it has really helped with the pain management. I sure do feel gassy though! Were you given any protien Soup broth or protien thin drink mixes? I am getting 60 grams of protien a day and 60-70 oz. of Fluid. My doctor does not allow soft foods or yourt until the 3rd week so it is just protien drinks and broths for me right now but I am not hungry at all. I can't wait to see the weight come off!!!
