I think you might need to call your Dr. I didn't have ANYTHING like that and I didn't take the pain meds - I took 2 pills the 1st day, 1 pill the 2nd day and nothing after that.

Just to make sure, please call the Dr. I hope its nothing - maybe you just needs your meds adjusted.

Good luck and please let us know you're ok!

I called him so I go in tomorrow see what he says.thanks

Im glad your going to see him, I was banded on 12/21 and my pain was minimal as well as the gass. They gave me morphine for a day and a half and then just tylenol. Good luck.

Everyone reacts differently, but I am glad to see you are going in. Keep your pain meds going. Take them as often as prescribed. If they say every 4-6 hours as needed, then take them every 4 hours. Don't let it get ahead of you.

I hope you feel better soon!

I admit i felt pretty crappy the first few days but I just stayed in bed and rested. after that... by day three/ I was good to go.. I think the lack of carbs affect our energy in that first week causing us to feel like that.. Today is day 9 for me. banded 12/20/

I was banded on 12/27. I have awful pain in the muscle where my port is. I can't lay down, haven't slept, can't hardly walk. Has anyone experienced this? When does it go away?

I was banded on the 30th and I'm having similar pains. I can't eat without nuseau meds and pain pills. I constantly getting sick and I'm sipping slowly!! Wondering when the pain will dull down so I can eat/sleep

I had an experience like yours....for me this procedure was much worse that both my c-sections...and I had complications with both of them. I couldn't believe the pain I was in and the pains meds did little to nothing to make it better. I would say it took me all of 2-3 weeks to be relatively pain free, including my port site....I feel like I never had anything done.

They finally let me go home today. I'm still struggling with keeping broth down. But it's staying down now, just super uncomfortable. The pain pills are hard to keep down. Wish I could have just had iv meds sent home lol
