hey everyone!!

i got banded may 22nd around 1pm...:cursing:

the surgery went very well, and i wasnt in much pain

dr artuso said i was fine, but thinks i should stay over night since my insurance approved it.

and boy and im glad i did!!

so far i havent had any gas pains, but i am incrediably sore...

and the nurses i had at night were horrible. my machine kept going off, and it take them about 30mins just to answer!!

anyways, im doing well, just very sore

is there anything i can do to get rid of the soreness from my stomach?

i'd love to hear what you all think...

THANK YOU!

Congratulations on your band! I'm sorry I don't have any answers for you as I will not be banded until June 11th. I just wanted to say that I'm proud of you and I wish you lots of continued success.

Hi I was banded on March 17, 2008. You will start feeling better as time goes by. I know I felt better. Congragulations.

I as well have no answers for you. I'm just wanting tio congrat you for doing well after the banding. My banding date is June 4th. How do you start these posts? I have not figured this site out. Hugs! Teresa

Hi! Congrats on being banded! I was banded on May 19th and I was (and still am) in pain - my somach was really sore espeicially where the port site is...and the gas was terrible. BUT it gets better. I feel normal again and the pain is very mild. I think moving around and walking helps alot.

Good Luck! :rolleyes2:

Congrats on being banded. I was banded on May 21st. I've been walking and just trying to keep busy. I find it makes me feel better. Good Luck

do you have any excessive bruising?

Hi Congrats, I'm To Be Banded On 07/23

Hi,i was banded 5/21,it hurt like crazy the first day,but now its getting a little better,walking helps a lot with gas,but i do have this sort of pain in my chest from time to time,its like wanting to burp(exuse the details)but unable too,it hurts then it goes away,anyone else experience this?

It's been 5 days since being banded and I still have that feeling through out the day.

I loved my heating pad on my tummy... that helped me a lot with the soreness.. kinda a comfort thing... I find myself still using it once in awhile ..lol got all my tape off yesterday at the DRS and now it itches.... but the scars are not bad at all ...even port side...
