I got banded yesterday! I feel pretty good. My pain afterwards was 0 when gettin up and walking around it has been about a 3 or 4. I am so stiff and sore though. I have finally finished a jello and half of a protein drink for the last 2days that all I have had. I also had hernia repair and the pain factor (thankfully) has not been bad at all. I do have a really high pain tollerence though. It does hurt when I take a deep breath. Having pressure on my stomach (pillow, ice) is a life saver the pressure feels so goos to have something there to support your tummy,

Congrats and welcome to the other side!

Congratulations!!! Good luck on your recovery! You'll do great.

That was the toughest part of my recovery. I had tons of pressure under my rib cage. It was caused from the gas they use while doing surgery. I took gas X strips and walked, and walked and walked some more finally it got better. Hang in there! Congratulations I remember going through all of the pre-opt stuff. It was so time consuming and frustrating I almost gave up. So glad I didn't though. Hope your feeling better soon:

yes it comes and goes...thanx u
