Same here. I've only taken the nausea pill once. The liquid lortab is a life saver.

Hope you soon get some relief astott626, , got my band on Tues(3/26) and have been pretty lucky with the gas pains. Have a pain today in the middle of my back which has been the worst of it. Struggling with the blues for some reason. Thinking its a combination of this miserable winter that will not end and the after effects of the anesthesia. Anxious to get to a real scale and see if I have any more off.Was down 19 from the preop diet. Best of luck!!

So yesterday I felt bruising on my left calf. My mom and I wonder if its from being moved after the procedure or something more serious. Anyone else experience this?

I have the pain in the middle of my back too. It's got to have something to do with my band.

Wishing for a turn towards sunnier days for you!!

So my incision pain is getting better. But it made me notice another problem ... I think I have strep I'm struggling to stay positive with all this pain. Its like razors cutting my throat when I swallow. All I want to do is sleep. Probably going to urgent care to find out what it really is. What an Easter

I propped up pillows tall on bed and just leaned up against them on my side on the 2 days I was super sick. I couldnt lay on my right side at all! But I laid on left side an proppe pillow under stomach. It was still uncomfortable for a few minutes until I relaxed and stopped freaking out.

They gave me pills for pain and later an rx for zofran pills! They were hard to swallow!

My throat was so sore on days 2-6 from tube! It was raw! I hope you arent getting strep! I would call your band doc and tell them you think you have it- he/she should take care of thise things because they know what they want you to have.

Hope you feel better soon!

My Dr isn't in til tomorrow. I went to urgent care and I do have strep I'm so miserable I just want to cry.

[aufan 69]

Oh I'm so sorry you have strep on top o healing from surgery. Hope you feel better real soon!! Remember to keep drinking Water especially now that your body is fighting strep.

Recliner for 2 days then slept on the couch with pillows under my tummy while I slept on my right side so that I could sleep without my tummy tugging on my incision. Was amazing. Best way to relieve gas...heat packs, lots of walking, and allowing yourself to fart...true story. I feel pretty great today. as for the person with strep...get well soon!
