I was banded 11/18. I felt great after surgery and all this morning. Then out of no were, started feeling crappy. I have not thrown up. Just dont feel good at all. I having shoulder pain, and a small amount of tighness around my port. The shoulder pain is much worse. I am on clear liq, no problems so far. I guess i am just going through is this worth it. I know it will be, but it is hard to see right now.

I remember feeling the same way. I was banded on Oct. 13th. Right after I felt really good. Then with in like 24hours I started to feel like I was getting sick or something. I kept a close eye on my temp to make sure there was no infection. I did run a low grade temp for about 48 hours but it never went over 100. All I can say is don't stay at home and in bed no matter how bad you feel. Getting out will help the gas/shoulder pain. Try to find someone to drive you just to be on the safe side, but do get out and do something. You will start to feel better before you know it. Good luck........

the shoulder pain your feeling is normal- its the gas that they inflate your belly with to do the procedure. itll go away i promise. and even though you may not feel like it- walking helps with the gas... also, baby mylacon drops help bunches!

thanks for the responses, I thought i was going to die from the shoulder pain last night. I did walk around the house for a while, it start to subside. I think i am going to try to get out today. thanks again, nice to just hear that it is normal.

A heating pad works great also.

I had the same after a day or two . . . and I generally felt exhausted. However, within a week I was feeling pretty normal again with just a little soreness. It passes quickly . . . just make sure you get as much rest as you can, get in as much fluids and proteins as you can and take it easy.

Hey there,

I was banded 11/11/08 so I not that far ahead of you.The first 4 days after were the worst for me.I had lots of pain,nausea & gas.It's so hard but you will get thru it.I'm 9 days post op now and feeling soooo much better!!Everyday makes such a difference with the pain & your energy level.

Just listen to your body if you feel like walking walk,if you feel like sleeping then rest.You'll get there before you know it!
