Hello all you fellow lapbander My name is angie and I was banded on 7/15/08. I am suppose to go to work today, but Iam nervous because I am still having gas pain and a burning at the port site. I am sure everything is fine, Iguess i'm just paranoide. I am new at chat rooms and all that so I hope i,m doing this right. Thanks for letting me ramble i am looking forward to any advice anyone has.:thumbup:

Congrats... I was banded on a thursday and went back to work on a monday.... What I can say is that for me I think it was too soon.... It is doable but if i had to do it over againi would take at least a week or 2 off so i could start feeling normal again, but just make sure u stay hydrated because i was dehydrated when i went back to work I over came it all thank God!! But i was walking around at work asking people for gas-x and stuff...but u should be ok...just wear something that is going to be confortable around your stomach...

thanks for the input. My first day was hard, i'm a hairdresser. I survived but i'm glad I have tom. off. The gas pains ars so bad- I also had a hiatal hernia repaired when they went in. Hope you are recovering ok.

Thanks for the advice. My first day was rough. I do hair so no resting for 7 hours. I am glad I have tom. off. Saw your progress, that is awsome. Is it going pretty easy for you?
