new and learning

Hello All,

I've had my band 10 days now and am wondering when I'll get used to these new sensations I'm having. Hunger has definitely kicked in. For the past 2 nights I've waken up around 2am with these weird pains....kinda like really strong hunger with pain mixed in. Has anyone else had this? Its almost a little nauseating too. I have this during the day also but not nearly on the same scale.

I also have had a pain in my back since surgery that does not go away. Its smack dab in the middle of my back and a heating pad has not helped. I thought about going to a chiropractor but am scared he'd want me to lay on my stomach. Cant do that yet because I'm still really sore around my big incision. It looks like I swallowed a tennis ball just underneath it. When I call the Drs office, the nurse tries to assure me this will pass. I realize that I had surgery but dang I'm ready to feel "normal" again.

How long did it take to heal before you felt normal? Do you continue to have strange feelings in your tummy?

THANKS!
