just got banded-- have a few questions

alright so i was just banded on tuesday the 5th.

i don't feel too bad, i'm just TIRED.

sleeping is such a hassle.

i barely slept in the hospital. this whole sleeping on my back thing is not getting it done.

last night was my first night home, and i slept most of the night (from 10 to 5:30) in my own bed, but at 5:30 i woke up and my back was killing me. all i wanted to do was roll over on my side, so i called my mom and had her come help me out of bed and move me to the couch recliner.

so now here i am, about 20 mins into taking my pain meds and my back still hurts.

so heres the big problem;

i go back to school (only half days) on monday the 10th.

if i keep lacking sleep, i'm never going to make it.

how did you sleep?

how long did it take before you were able to comfortably sleep through the night?

did anything help comfort wise?

i think i'm more paranoid for my own good.

i'm worried that every little discomfort and ache is a sign that something is going wrong with my band.

i'm terrified that i'm gonna mess this up somehow by turning the wrong way. blach.

it helps that my mom did the surgery a few months ago, but yanno its just hard to get used to the idea that something is inside of you. it's hard to believe that its not gonna burst from my stomach anytime soon.
