I was banded yesterday too!!!! Im so glad that your doing great as well!!!! so far Im pretty good...Im able to walk around my house and that helps a lot with the shoulder pain. The heating pad has been amazing! I had a hard time laying down to sleep had to sit up. i can drink and drink broth ..i have no desire for either but Im drink anyway for fear of dehydration. Congratulations our your new journey!!!! I wish a speedy recovery!!!!

My husband had his surgery yesterday 7/24 I'm so excited, he is doing so well. Pain mainly only when getting up. Anything he can use for the shoulder pain?

Iv been just using gas x strips and just walking around. I have bubbly stuff going on so I cant figure out if it's gas or hunger pains. Doest hurt just feels weird.

All you people are positive in your recovery thoughts. Way to go. I'm sure any discomfort will go away soon and it is important to drink your fluids and use shaved/crushed ice chips. If you have a snow cone machine use it to make your ice smooth to swallow. Best wishes to all of you. Keep us informed. My band date is Aug.6.
