I spoke to my nurse today and she was a lil suprised that I was still feeling discomfort. I guess im not too sore but pretty uncomf cant lie on my side, cant bend down without a struggle and i feel very tight in my upper tummy

grrrrr I just wanna get my crap together and get going and I feel stuck

does anyone else have this problem or felt this way

I felt normal around day 10. Still had port discomfort, though - that lasted several weeks. I couldn't lie on my side until about 3 weeks out and I did try a pillow under my tummy to help and it didn't at all. It'll get better - hang in there!

Not suprising to me. I felt pretty bad lying down for at least 10 days to two weeks. But, then again I am a big baby! I wonder if you are feeling a little better each day. That is what kept my spirits up, that I was slightly more comfortable each day. Feel better soon!

thanks heaps. I am feeling better each day just not as much better as i hoped lol im impatient!!!!

I tried my side a bit this morning but still hurt goshhhhhhhh glad im inda normal. I guess the nurse has never had banding done herself.....

I feel better this morning so thats good

It took me a full week before the bloated feeling started to go away. I was fairly uncomfortable till then. It should get better, if not, tell your doctor!
