Yesterday was okay, today was okay but tonight i feel very very BLEH to put it mildy. How many days did it take you until you significantly better?

I had surgery on Saturday, flew home Monday, went to work on Tuesday. 100% by Wednesday. Very little pain.

Maybe just a little tired on Tuesday but probably from schlepping in the airport the day before....that was a drag for sure.

4 - 5 days I started feeling good.

Its been almost 4 weeks and I have days where I just hurt more than others but over all I feel pretty good.

I went back to work in 1 week after surgery. I was feeling better with no pain... but that first day back at work drained me so fast. I had no energy until a few days into that second week! Each day will get better for you hang in there!!

today is day 5 for me

this is the best day i have felt yet!!!

each day gets easier

Within 5 days I was pretty much normal. Just a little 'aware' of the incisions in my belly. I was more tired the first two weeks probably from the general rather than the op.

I had my surgery on a Friday and went back to work the next Wednesday and felt pretty good.

Good to know! I needed that last night was rough (i think it was gas pain). Today was great for me. Even went to the movies (almost cried because I couldn't have the popcorn (my favorite thing in the world <--kinda sad really). I even contemplated buying some, sucking on it and spitting it out (how horrible is that!?!) but i didn't, i enjoyed the movie and felt better about myself for it. Heres to a good day tomorrow too!

I was banded on 11/03/05. I had a lot of pain and could not keep awake for at least 3 days post op. Thank God for pain meds. Thanksgiving day will be 3 weeks post op and I am feeling so much better. My doc has me on full liquids, so my turkey day will wait until next year. the good part is I have already lost 22 lbs!

Jini, sorry that you are not feeling so great. I had my surgery on the 7th of this month, and I started to notice that I was feeling a slight bit better about the 7th day. Each day I feel better, but I honestly do not feel 100% yet, and I cannot wait until I do. Tomorrow will be 14 days since I've had my surgery, and I have my post-op. I think I'll ask the doc when my port scar (the big one) will stop hurting (if ever). It burns so bad like I bust the stitches or something. Take care, and I hope you feel better soon.

Kat. is the burning right on the port scar? I am having this burning just below and to the left and only when I move a certain way. I was wondering if any one else had this problam?

im having the same problem as u

its after i bend down or move to the left sie an i wasnt sure wot it was

maybe this is normal then?

anyone else?

I hope so because is has scared the u know what out of me. I hope it ends soon, I was banded on the 11th.

i was banded on the 15th so im only 6 days out

i guess if it keeps going we should call our docs
