Hi hunny! I got a lot of pain to, my surgery was may 1st, and I explain to my doctor that I was in a lot of pain, some days worst then others, and some days it would throb or feel extra warm, she told me not to worry because in order for it to heal its gonna take 6 months to year after surgery was done. Now if you have it more then a year call your doctor ASAP, see what's going on.

Since you are newly banded, yes, it will stay sore for awhile.

Hang in there. It does get better.

Heyyyyy, honey! I'm glad Dr. gave you meds for your pain. Now, is this your FIRST post after being BANDed, or did I miss your first one??? I guess what I want to ask is how did you cope with your nerves the day of the surgery??? Also, it's normal to "regret" the surgery the first two to three days, as we are coping with being in pain, not being able to eat much, and even not sleeping well.... But all that will soon go away, and you'll be a happy camper!! I

So glad you finally did it!! Now remember, don't expect ANYTHING from anyone. Be your own cheerleader and don't let people around you ruin your day and your journey!! (((HUGS)))

Hot Butterfly said it so well ~ I sure do like that ~ Don't expect anything from anyone and be your own cheerleader!!

Hang in there, I did have what sounds like the same pain, that came and went and yes the stitches to the abdominal wall can be a bit tender. So no gymnastics or crazy stuff for you girl for a bit!

Be kind to yourself and do keep moving!!!! Small frequent walks....it's amazing what that does for a speedier, healthier recovery!

take care

This is not my first post after being banded. They way I coped with my nerves the day of surgery is I put it out of my mind. I though about my bills being paid and I looked at magazines and I played a game on my phone staying busy was very key for me! I am my own cheerleader I have to make this life style change also thank you I will not put up with ppl trying to ruining my life and what I'm suppose to do in life! Thank you :0) !

      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.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      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? 🤷‍♀️
