Hello all. Pat Noble here. I was banded July 9th, 08. Can somebody tell me how long it takes for pain to subside? It has been 5 days post-op and I still feel like my stomach wants to fall out when I stand or walk. However, it is much better than yesterday. I weighed 238 on 7/9/08 and today I weigh 227. Has anyone also sweat severely after getting up and walking? I get soaked and nausious when I attempt to walk but I do anyway. Any advice?

Pat :cursing:

everyday get a little better,before you know it you will feel great, i also was very weak , and just a little walkin around made me sweaty & dizzy, just slow down take your time,rest, and remember your protein! congrats!! it really does get better

I headed back to work after 4 days (I was banded June 13). I was a little sore then but one month later - I don't even feel like I had the surgery. Give yourself a couple more days and the pain should go away. You're not doing any strenous activities - are you? If you are in that much pain - contact your doctor.

Hi and thanks for responding. I like the weight loss ticker you have that shows your progress. How do you put it on your post?
