I got home today ..... pretty sore. I slept pretty much the 2 hour drive home. I did put a pillow between my stomach and the seat belt. Far worse today than I was yesterday!! Taking my pain meds faithfully!! I cannot drive my car until the 26th. I feel like I have been ran over by a big steam roller - my tummy area is VERY SORE!!! I know as the days go by, I will start to feeling better. I have been very lazy and just laying around all day ............ and I don't feel guilty for doing that. I am having TERRIBALE pain in the middle area of my back ... don't know what's that's caused from. I have to go back to Topeka on the 25th for my post-op visit.

I would appreciate your continued prayers.

Oh Sherri!- I do hope you feel better soon and will keep you in my prayers. I'm a pre bandster and always look to new bandsters as a wealth of information. How do drinking liquids make you feel? Any nausea? Gas pain?

Sherri,

Have just finished praying!! Pray the Lord eases the pain....it does get better each day....truly one day at a time!!! :confused:

God Bless,

Take care of yourself!

I had a lot of pain as well.....was really wondering "am I a wimp or what?" So many people talk about how little pain they have.....I have had 3 c-Sections so pain is not new to me....this pain was just different and I went back to work as a nurse doing 12 hour shifts just a couple of days later so probably put my healing way behind...just take it easy and baby yourself! You'll do a lot better in the long run, believe me! And congrats on the band....I am thrilled with mine! Got it 2/27/06, soreness gone, got filled to a good level and I'm good to go! You'll be there before you know it!

Congrats Sherri! Hope you have a speedy recovery!
