20 Hours Post Op...feel Good...will It Get Worse?

I'm 20 hours out! Im home and feeling pretty good considering I just had surgery! Everything went smoothly and now just walking lots to get rid of these gas pains. Really the only pains I have occasionally.

Those of you already banded, did you find first day was worst? I keep being afraid I feel too good and it will later get bad! Lol

Any tips for this first day? Have been trying to walk walk walk!

My first two days were great!! And the next 5 after that were really tough. It really depends on each individual person. Best of luck!!

I felt I had a pretty simple recovery as well. I was sore but I expected a lot worse. I'm sure everyone heals at different paces but mine was pretty good.

I'm glad to hear that all went well with your surgery and that so far you have had a good post op with discomforts. Hopefully, I will get Banded early August.

Sounds like you're doing great!! Day 3 and 4 were the bad days for me. Terrible gas cramps and left shoulder aching. It's all worth it though!!

My first 2 days were great. The next 4 days were up and down. Today I feel better Just a little nauseous but nothing to take medicine for. Overall it has been pretty good.

Days 3-5 were the absolute worst.

I had a really easy post-op experience. My worst was probably about a week to a week and a half out when the port area started hurting a bit. It wasn't bad, felt like a really bad bruise. I attributed it to the muscle healing around where the port was stitched in.
