Im One Of The Banded Now!

[Sombra1718 55]

Had surgery yesterday morning. They also fixed a hernia. The gas is not too bad but I am having a lot of pain near an incision. It aches when I am sitting but if I move at all it feels like my insides are ripping. Did anyone else feel like that?

you have been cut so yes u will feel pain near the incisions and u have internal stitching which will feel like it pulls sometimes .. just relax all will be fine and what u are feeling is all very normal when u are healing, I am sure if u are very worried a quick phone call to your doctors to ease your mind may help u too

Sombra,

I was banded Wednesday and I feel the same way. The incision by the port hurts like hell. You described it perfectly that it feels lie someone is ripping your insides out.

Even sleeping is a task, if I move it hurts and I need help getting out of bed. Good luck and thanks for posting. Keep me updated on how everything is going.

Hi i was banded on Sunday and know exactly what you mean. I had like a pulling sensation every time i stood up. On Tuesday i was so worried i wouldn't be ready to go back to work Monday but by yesterday (Thursday) i feel completely different.

Just think every day you will feel better than the day before!

Good luck on your journey!

Your doctor told you no lifting,bending and stretching because of the stitches inside your tummy.If you do to much to soon those stitches will pop loose.Give your body time to heel,or it's gonna feel as if you pulled a nerve if a stitch comes loose.

I agree...I was miserable. I had my surgery on a Tuesday and by Saturday I felt like a new woman. In fact me and hubby camped outside in a tent Saturday night and I was comfortable. We were cooking brisket for a party on Sunday. My point is....before you know it....you will feel "normal" in no time...although it may not feel like that your first few days. It does get better...I promise.

I too had surgery yesterday morning! Last night was tough with the gas pains and I still have that pulling sensation when I get up to do my walking! It will all be worth it as we continue to go along on this journey! Wishing you the best!!
