I had the lap banding 5 days ago and was doing fine until this morning I woke up with a terrible pain across my back. I was wondering if anyone had this happened to them.

Tank you cindy

hi cindy,

congratulations on getting banded. i am one month out. the pain could be from 1 of 2 things. either it is just gas trying to escape. i had gas for about 2 to 3 weeks. or it is from the swelling and the band is pressing on something. nothing to worry about, just keep walking as much as you can, it really helps the most.

email me at njsoldierwife@yahoo.com if you would like to become band buddies or need support or just need to vent.

talk to you soon!:tongue2:
