Life After Banding for Industrial Worker

My husband was banded Last month and had returned to work building topdrives for the oil field. Do any of you know of the weight requirements and pressure requirements that we should look out for. I know he has only worked a few hours, and is in alot of pain. Also is tylenol the only one that makes the adult liquid?

Has anyone else gone through anything like this after returning to work?

This definitedly sounds like a question for the doctor. Being in "a lot of pain" sounds like a potentially serious problem. Your husband may be pushing things too hard before he is healed from the surgery. It sounds like the kind of thing that could get worse if he keeps doing it. I would definitely contact the doctor before he continues to put that kind of physical stress on his body. Let us know how it goes.
