April 13, 201214 yr I was banded at 7 this morning. Have some pretty wicked heartburn. My right shoulder hurts, but not bad. The stitches- not bad at all- sore but doable. I've crossed over!!!
April 14, 201214 yr Author Hi everyone got banded at 1030am feeling ok right now notuch pain i hope it stays this way.. Hope everyome is doing ok..
April 14, 201214 yr Congrats on being banded.....the first week is a little rough but life is good after that! Hang in there and welcome to ur new life!
April 14, 201214 yr Things are still going good for me so far! No shoulder pain yet and had my first Protein shake (after surgery) today. I'm keeping up on my pain meds and am happy to report I am passing gas ~ my family doesn't care as much for that part! The toughest part for me so far was the sore throat yesterday, I'm waiting to see if I still get any more of the post op pains. I don't have stitches or steristrips, they used dermabond but I still can't take a shower until tomorrow.
April 14, 201214 yr Author Thats great.. No shoulder pain here either.. They told me protein shake on phase 2 hmm :/ i wonder if i misundersto her.
April 15, 201214 yr I think every doctor is a little different. I think it is best to stick with your own doctors requirements, that way if there are any issues you have complied with their rules and it helps them to know where to start looking.
Good luck to everyone whose habing surgery today and God Bless.
