I was banded yesterday and I have to say I'm doing great. More of a tummy ache than pain. Keeping moving helps gas. I didn't sleep well lying down coughed alot but if I propped up I was good. Drinking unjury unflavored in water today and unjury chicken broth. Overall not as bad as I expected.

congrads, i will be band on the 30th

I was banded on the 23rd also! A friend made me homemade chicken soup and the broth was delicious! Best thing I've had so far!!!

@Tamsboyd I got chicken soup from a friend today too !! Smells fabulous but I haven't tried it yet !!

How are you feeling?

@roxann68 I'm doing well. Still having to sleep on my back but other than that I'm good! How about you?

@Tamsboyd I am still on my back as well but it's getting easier to get up. Port site is the most sore now everything is itching but that means healing !

@fearfefe goodluck !! You will do great and we will only be 7 days apart. Keep me posted

@roxann68. Glad things are getting better! I finally slept on my side some last night with the help of my pain meds! I'm itching too... Good feeling to know things are moving along ???‰

@Roxann68 thanks and i will keep you posted....

I'm itching like crazy today!! Hope that's a good sign

Banded on July 30th. Feeling great one week out! My stomach growls a lot!

How are all my July banded pals doing? I'm doing okay. Starting to get hungry but still having stuck issues at least I think that's what the feeling is. I feel like I can't breathe and my esophagus gurgles then after short time I burp or make more noises and we're good. It's strange and I'm not sure why it happens because more often then not its soft foods. I can't really eat meats well and I only have 2cc in band. The nurses said it wouldn't make a difference but something is !
