I know there was a few of us banded on or around this day just wondering how everyone is feeling? I feel ok finding it hard to sleep I think the pain killers keep me up though. Hope yours all went well.

Congrats on reaching the "other side"! Take care of yourself and heal well.

Banded May 3rd and so far feeling great. No real pain anymore and no gas as of yet. Do you think it may still come?

Hi I was banded Wed may 2nd and Im just felling better today Saturday.

I had a rough couple of days , I had alot of gas pains .

I still gas pains in my chest cant wait for it to go away . Still a bit sore but I can move around . Feel better

I was May 4th... Stayed over night at TLBC, the night nurse was great, the Op went well, in and out in 45 minutes to an hour. Very much sore now, bloaty and stiff. But over all I am Ok!

also banded on may 4th... overal i feel ok, I feel like I have someone sitting on my chest. No real pain but i find it sore to sit up straight

Has anybody tried the jello i am scared to try. I am feeling fine except the chest feels pressure as well. Glad to hear everyones went well.

I feel ok, but my stomach hurts...i dont know if its gas, or muscle stiffness or whatever...i'm hoping to be 100% in a week (is that unreasonable?)

brookelaney did you have a hiaital(sp) hernia fixed? That heavy feeling is normal. It will go away in about 4 days. Every day you will feel better. Glad everyone is doing good.

I tried Jello today and found it a litlle difficult. I could not eat the entire small container - only about 1/2 until I felt full.

I dont know if you will be 100% in a week but you will be feeling a hell of a lot better.

It really took me about 4 weeks to feel to the point where the incisions we not tender and I felt like working out, going for walks etc.

HI brookelaney,

I actually just got off the phone with my doctor because i was having the same problem as you pressure on my chest and he really said it was ok and to only worry if i was short of breath.

hopefully this goes away because i really have a hard time sleeping at night.

Im also getting likie an air bubble in my throught when I lay down

any getting that felling ???

Ok Ok I should have known better but I felt so good yesterday. :faint: Banded on the 3rd and I felt great by Monday . No pains at all. Very little tenderness. I even slept on my stomach again. So why not do some laundry, groceries and attend my daughter's music concert where I had to stand for over 1 hr. Bad Bad girl!!!!!:omg: :omg: I am feeling it today!!!! Suddenly alot more sore and tender. Hope fully this will get better as I am most certainly babying myself today:notagree :notagree .

Do not make the same mistakes as I and take care of yourselves:)

Well i am pretty much back to normal i know when i over do it because my back gets sore quick which is odd. Still get a few gas pains. I can drink normally.Also getting hungry so I know I am feeling better.

When do you may 4thers start full fluids, tomorow?? Thats what i plan on doing.

I started full fluids today... started off with yummy yogurt

it's weird I don't find that I have much restriction while I'm eating right now I had half a cup of yogurt and it went down without a problem, infact I'm still hungry.
