Had my op on Wednesday and it is so painful I cannot lie down to sleep, I fear if I did I would never get back up again. The wound pain is horrendous. I'm guessing it's where the port is, that's the most painful one of all. It feels like a searing hot pain if I turn or get on and off the bed. Luckily I didn't have gas problems but this is so painful wondering when it will ease off and when I will be able to lie down to sleep because I am getting a sore patch at the base of my spine

I feel your pain. I had my sugery on tues. 7/15/08, and I have had alot of burning and pulling at the port site. I have been sleeping with lots of pillows and praying I don't have to pee in the night because getting up is a challenge. Today was a little better,so hang in there. Thank God you don't have the gas pains-I have been using a heating pad 4 them which has helped. I don't know how to do a ticker, but my name is Angie, I'm a 33 year old mom of 3 243 was my starting weight, I did 2 weeks liquid before and I have lost 14lbs so far!

I love you guys XXXXXXXXX Thank you so much for the support here.... sometimes you do feel kinda lonely with no one to talk to about the banding X You get scared and then come on here and realise that it's all going ok after all X
