Well today is the worst..having trouble breathing. No nausea so I'm glad of that. Still on a lot of pain.

I'm glad that you are home. Not happy to hear that you are still having difficulty breathing... Your lungs should be clear and you should be breathing normally, by now. I am worried about you. Have you spoken with your doctor about your breathing? It is nothing to take lightly. Especially post surgery.

Pain is different for everyone. Take your meds as needed and walk, as much as you possibly can. Staying active, not letting yourself get stiff and seized up really helps to keep you more comfortable. :)

I knw the feeling. I'm still very swollen n feel extremely tight. It will pass w time.

Glad to know its normal

I felt that way even a month after. In addition to the surgical swelling and irritation, best guess was maybe there was too much fluid left in from priming the band. It did eventually go away, but now I also know what a fill feels like to me, and the memories post surgery come back. I think I just did not know what to expect- a foreign sensation. Good luck, hope you are on your way to feeling great!

Thank you..still I'm some pain but better than yesterday.

That tight feeling is normal, it is swelling from the surgery. If you had a hernia repair, it will be a bit more intense and last longer. I was swollen and kind of tight for nearly two months. Which was kind of great, I stayed Green for all of that time. :D

I'm gad that you're feeling better and having less pain.
