I had surgery on 2/1 and felt a lot better on day 5. Each day got exponentially better. Now, I forget I even had surgery!

I was banded on the 8th and on the 6th day after I woke up and felt so much better!

I got mine on the 13th. And the only time I feel it is when I sleep.

I felt lousy until my 9th day. I'm two weeks out today and feel great. Each day will be better for you. Take your diet and your activity slow.

How about getting out of bed, any ideas on how to not feel that pulling, tearing pain in left upper abdomen when up?

Roll onto your side before getting into a sitting position.

I was banded the 15th as well. I thought i had been lucky with no gas pains, just sore. Well today was my first day back to work and I sit too much. The compression of my stomach really brought on the pain and the gas pains have come on strong tonight. I have been walking all night, but still in pain. Its going to be a long week. I should have taken more time off.

Awkright i give you credit for going bk to work today. I was banded on the 14 As well and know i could not have gone bk yet. I can totally relate to feeling of not beig able to sit for long period at a time. I hope your pains go away.

I was also banded on the 15th and the day of and following day was not bad but yesterday and today I've been hurting pretty bad. It's hard to find a comfortable way to sleep any suggestions?

That a tough one. I sleep on my back propped up on like 8 pillows. I tried layimg on my side but it was to painful to get up.

How much protein and liquids are you taking in?

Btw I was banded Feb 12th intake is apprx 65 grams of proteins and 20oz of water also I take b12 sublingual tabs and chewable calcium and today for the first time crushed biotin pills for hair and mixed them with my shake, I'm off of meds since lastnight no more liquid vicotin bc I took it all but feel good able to side sleep.
