Nobody watch South Park or anything else really funny if you were recently banded.....I was banded last Friday....It hurts so much to laugh right now, it made me cry it hurt so bad. Just wanted to let ya know.

Sneezing hurts too!

It sure does!!! and coughing!!!!!!!!

I needed to sneeze today and I braced myself for the "port pain" - but it didn't happen - 10 days post banding I can now sneeze freely :-)

Haha, I happened to catch Robin Williams on Parkinson one night when I was in hospital after Eliza was born by caesarean. I had to turn the bloody thing off, I actually popped a staple.

Stupid thing is it was only funny because I was trying NOT to laugh!

A nurse suggested that I use a pillow. Hold it close to your stomach area when you are about to sneeze or laugh. It helps.

Omg My Sister ( Whpo Truly Is A Blonde ) Brought Me Home And Was Going To Make Me Jello Before She Left. Figuring She Would Do What Any Normal Person Would Do And Heat The Water In The Tea Kettle On The Stove ( I Later Found Out Hello It Was For Tea According To Her ) She Is On Of Those People That Only Uses Something For It Intended Purpose. Well Anyhow I Couldnt Figure Out What Was Taking Her So Long To Make Flippin Jello. She Had Out My Humongous Soup Pot To Boil Water In. I Think It Took 30 Minutes ...lmao. I Was In Tears I Was Laughing So Hard Then In Pain...lol So I Know What You Mean

The day I got home, My DH had made me some broth---I took a sip, and I have no idea what he did, but it was so flippin' salty, I must have inadvertently inhaled, and caused myself to choke---I coughed, and choked and gagged, all while trying to continue to breath as well as ----trying to hold a mug of hot broth, and my belly in several spots......NOT easy. Also highly NOT recommended..........yeah this is one of those proceed with caution times!!
