Just got banded 4 hours ago, I was SO nervous but it wasnt as bad as I expected woke up with pain but they gave me pain relief and now I'm fine, just drugged up so sorry if I spell things wrong lol the funny thing is that I don't feel like there's a band inside me :/ lol it's strange.

Welcome. Rest while you can. Good luck.

Thanks yea just walked around the hospital corridor so I'm doing good

Whoops I ment 'NOW' not 'no' lol these pain killers really get to ur head! Lol

Congratulations! sounds like you're doing real well!!!

Welcome to the banded side!

Congratulations! Get better soon!

Don't worry about spelling, only a few think it's their job to monitor. That's not what we're here for. It's support!

Thanks guys! I feel weird though, like I feel there is no band in me? I can drink a fair big of water. I suppose in 2 weeks il soon realise how much of a difference it makes when I eat soft food? Anyone else ever wake up after their op thinking 'hold on.. I don't feel like anything is inside me, and I can drink quite a bit of fluids?'

That will be me. I'm 11 days post op still woundered if there is something there or if it detached or something. The only thing I know is there is the port because of swelling. But I do have a little restriction on thicker liquids or it's just me not feeling like eating.

Hello everyone i was banded on 7/18/ 12 my question is on my longest incision I feel a knot. The nurse tells me its muscle does anyone else have this problem?

I mean I'm no doctor or anything but I would just say its your internal stritches healing still of course we will have lumps and bumps for a while but if they are really concerning you, if they are uncomfortable or oozing still then call your doctor/consultant. Otherwise I wouldn't really worry about it.
