1 day post-op

Hey all! Had banding yesterday. Feeling ok. Wounds are very sore especially were port is and were the drain was. Had very bad experience with anaesthetic too. But hey it's all over now. Anyone got any tips on how to get comfortable while lying down. My wounds are so sore and feel like I'm bursting them when I move.
