Hello all. I'm on the other side. I was banded about 9 hours ago. I'm home and doing well. Pain in my stomach not too bad. I've had 2 c sections and the pain is comparable. Hard to get up and down but just kinda sore when laying down. My question is.... has anyone experienced back pain? I have a bad back anyway but I've had constant pain my in back since I woke up. Nothing is helping. Could is be gas pains? I've heard gas pains in the shoulder but not the back. Also I have discomfort in my chest. Almost feels like heartburn. Is this gas? Overall doing well. Getting up walking some sleeping some and have only had Water today. Thanks for reading and the support. Here's to a healthier skinny all of us!!! :)

Hello, I was band 9 days ago the first day was horrible for me. Next day was ok I had a lot of back pain as well but today I feel extremely well very good pains here and there but normal. Called my doctors office about the gas asked if i could take over the counter to relieve bloating she said yes as long it was liquid. I haven't tried it yet but I been walking a lot. I was prescribed liquid pain meds so I was good with that. Over all I lost 11lbs =) I'm looking forward to a new me!! Have a blessed day!!

Well today is day 5 and between the post op diet and surgery this week I'm down 22lbs my dctr told me yesterday. I still have gas and bloating but at least it's moving and not giving me so much pain. I'm HUNGRIER than a bear but can't have soft foods for another couple days and my first full isn't till the end of the month. SO FAR SO GOOD....Continuous Blessings Everyone.

The back pain is either gas or how you were positioned on the operating table. I had it do. I am day 4 post op and it had subsided!!! Hang in there and welcome to the other side!

Do either of you feel well enough to drive and sit at a desk? Because what ive read is not sounding like reality. Read that it would be reasonable to have surgery thurs and go to work monday. I'm a secretary, but I think a whole week off is the minimum. ..?

@ RWSample I was given Soup sugar free Jello pudding, Protein Shakes twice a day and crystal lite for preop diet. The shakes replaced two meals so in reality I was only eating once a day and was on this diet for 2wks. Fourth of July I thought I was going to just die because I couldn't have bbq with my family (lol) but I just kept thinking my reward is going to be great in the end. Postop diet has been only clear broth and jello and Clear Liquids for 1wk so I progress to scrambled eggs, baked/mashed potatoes, (soft foods) on Monday and I'm so glad because I'm sick to death of soup!! I have started walking the track with my daughters 3X's a week and soon as my incisions heal I will be joining a gym. Your gonna be just fine, ONE DAY AT A TIME. :-)

Looking forward to some band aide! Yes my family rolls their eyes at me all the time!!! I hope you are feeling strong and healthy soon! Has anyone come up with pizza flavored Soup? I'm thinking oregeno in Tomato Soup gotta find some pepperoni juice and we'll be golden.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
