I got banded on Aug. 18... also they fixed a hernia that they found. I am in some pain.. no vomiting at all yet. I barely eat anything... only a few spoonfuls of broth here and there and some sugar free popsicles. I have a doctors appointment on Wednesday where I have loads of questions for my doctor.. but I was just wondering.. how long did it take most of you to start eating normal things... feel normal.. sleep normal? It's only been 4 days and I can't imagine feeling like this for much longer I don't think I was completely ready for all of this pain and discomfort.

Glad I found this thread! I am four days post op. Having alot of gas pains and just feel weird in my body. Incisions are not too bad. I'm just now actually starting to feel hungry ; though it's not much. I have my first dr's appt tomorrow and I'm back to work on Thursday. Hope all this gas and discomfort is gone by then... I just want to feel"normal" again!

I am 2 weeks post op now, and I still get what feels like a "stitch" in my lower left abdomen if I undertake too much physical activity. Other than that, I feel great now.
