I was banded on the 17th and also lost weight the first couple of days after surgery then it stopped. I am still quite sore and can not bend over and touch my toes with out pain. Anyone else feel like that?

I am also sore still(banded on the 18th)...bending over seems to be the worst right now...the port is stitched to the abdominal muscle and when I bend over it can be very painful...it only had to happen to me once for me to be careful when bending over. I am still seeing brusing on my abdomen also...I had the port area is the slowest to heal and not be painful

Well I feel a bit better knowing your having the same discomfort. I just can't wait to feel like myself again.

Thanks Rebecca....I guess I was not having trouble just never getting any comments. Oh well.

I was banded on the 27th and am still very sore. Also...cannot find a comfortable position to sleep...was up at 0430 this morning needing to sit up to sleep. sleeping on my side gives me some nausea and gives me pain between my ribcage. When does this go away???

I'm day 12 post-op and SUDDENLY felt awesome this morning. Both in recovery, and losing weight...

I was telling a coworker that coming to work on the subway this morning I felt like a gazelle bounding up all the stairs. It's the first in months, maybe years, that I can remember not wheezing and panting and sweating when I got to the top. I usually go for the stinky elevator rather than walking, but today it was SO much easier. No pain, and much lighter...

So far I'm so happy I had this surgery!!!!

I am banded. Staying overnight in the hospital because my blood pressure and O2 Sats are running quite low. I did manage to walk around the floor I am on a few times and I have been up to the bathroom twice. I'm very tired and my tummy is pretty sore when I move. I haven't had any gas pains to speak of yet but my mouth is super dry and my throat is scratchy. The doctor and nurses have been absolutely wonderful today. I did get a clear liquid tray and took a few bites of Jello and it kinda made me nauseous. I'm having an EGD in the morning to see how everything looks and then will be leaving for the 2 hour drive home.

Where my port is , is swollen REAL bad! I am having to use ice pads and that helps some with the pain from it. It looks like I have a little alien in my side lol! I have an hour to wait before I can take any pain meds..... UGH! It also hurts to take a beep breath.

Well, I hope everyone else is feeling good!

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
