Boy do I hurt!

Thanks Penni for making my pictures smaller.

Doc said he had an easy time of doing the surgery. He could have fooled me! I stayed over night because my potasium level was low. This can only get better. Please Please Please!

I am a newbie, and was banded on Monday of last week, but I can honestly say it gets better. The pain of the surgery wasn't bad for me it was the GAS...and still is a little. Don't worry, it will get better!!! YOu have tons of people on here that are proof of it!! HAng in there!

:clap2: :clap2: YEA!!!! Sandy is on the losing side now!!!:clap2: :clap2:

Congratulations!! I hope you have a speedy recovery.

Remember to sip that water and walk walk walk!!

Hi Sandy!

Congrats on the band! Hang in there - it get's better! Here's to a speedy recovery for you!

I'm 3 weeks out now and it does get better! I got and infection and it took longer for me but even at 3 weeks now I feel great. Congrats on becoming a bandster too.

It will all be a distant memory, promise! Congrats! Welcome to Bandland!

YAY!!! Congrats!!

C O N G R A T U L A T I O N S.............

I'm 5 days out and today is my best day yet. My abdomen is still really sore but otherwise things are getting better.

Good luck to you!

Congratulations on having the surgery done! But I am sorry that you are sore. Believe me, it will get better! It will all be better when you start losing! Good luck!:gluck:

Yeah for Sandy....I'm jealous...still waiting on my surgery date!! Don't worry the pain should go away in a couple of days, if it's anything like the other surgeries I've had for other stuff the Gas sucks the worst and when that's gone it's such a relief that the rest doesn't even bother you!!

Congratulations on getting your band! As everyone has said, it really does get better! The gas was the worst for me, too, but it got much better after about the 4th or 5th day. Just hang in there~

Congrats on the surgery.

Things will get a little easier each day. I was already sleeping on my tummy 3 weeks post-op. It's amazing how fast your body heals.

Welcome to the losing side!

Welcome to bandland! It really does get better each day!:biggrin1:

CONGRATULATIONS!!!:clap2: You'll be feeling better in no time! Listen to your body as well as what the doctor says!

Hey you! Hang in there! Some people get banded like they had a cavity filled and bounce back to normal. Then there was me - UG! But it will get better. Be careful though, because some of us felt better after a couple days, but then felt much worse for a few more days before getting all the way better.

Have someone rub almond oil in your feet and brush your hair. Get spoiled, k?
