Finally glad its over. I know they want us to walk around. My first attempt almost made me throw up...maybe I drank my chicken broth too fast.

They gave me liquid pain meds. Plus very small pills for nausea.

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.

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!

Glad that I have 2 recliners an so happy for all of your responses thanks so much !! Being banded tomorrow

Best of luck!!
