Sore!!! Moving slowly and a little pain. Definitely feeling the gas pains and using GasX strip. Had a protein shake, and pop cycle, broth and jello. Oh and hospital gave me an orange SF sherbert after my swallow test. All in all doing good so far pretty much as expected. Thought I would let those in line getting ready to get banded what they can expect although everyone is different. Pain??. Oh yes!!. Dont kid yourself but I'm on my way to really feeling better!

Glad your doing well nj. Are you home yet?

Had surgery yesterday at 9:30 am and was out of hospital by 11 this morning. Got a little sleep last night so I'm definitely tired today.

Ok cool. Some stay over night and some dont. Im sure you will get your much needed rest that you deserve while you are out! When do you go back to work, normal actovities, etc?

Luckily I am off till next week so I will have the time to rest up. Taking some pain meds tonight and it is definitely helping

Rest and walk, walk, walk!

Ok now I'm day 3 post op. I'm feeling a little bit better each day. Never imagined this much pain but I am getting through it. I'm a construction guy... Use to pain and being sore. Never had surgery so this was a whole new level of pain for me. Can compare it to kidney stones a few years back. Moving better today. What hurts is getting up and down. I feel the muscles pulling under my stomach and this hurts and what is so sore. But again getting a little better each day. Not really hungry. Eating jello and broth and protein shakes. Taking a pain pill as needed. I'm walking and telling myself it will get better.

Hold a pillow up against your incisions when you get up. It won't hurt so bad.
