Well, I was banded on May 13 at 10:15am. When I woke up everything was ok. my pain medication was working. i Slept most of day One. The second day I was scheduled to go home. They took me off the morphine pump and that began my spiral down. I went home day 2 at around 4:30pm. I got my pain meds at around 6:51pm. I took 2 delatin .. (think its spelled that way) and was in so much pain. I could not get comfortable, i was sweating . I was being a real bitch to my fiancee. the pain was just so bad. At around 10pm i just could not take it anymore. I ad to call the doctore. I told him about all of my pain and I could not even sleep . He recommended i get some motrin and take the pain killersw every three hours instead of every 4 hours. Ohh my gosh once i took that pain regimen i was able to sleep and became a much nicer person. I realize my pain tolerance is low. I have never had children and never had surgery before being banded. Well im 5lbs down from preopt weight.:thumbup:

Oh yes, those pain killers can be a BEAUTIFUL thing!!!! As for the tolerance, I can tell you that this isn't QUITE as bad as a c-section, but it's still pretty sore. (Mainly where the port is.) Are you having pain in the same spot or all over???

YAY on the 5lbs!

yeah . The pain was in my back and at this one site i the front. My other 3 incisions are not hat bad.

OK...I discovered the joys of a warm compress today. It helps a LOT!!!
