Well, I had my surgery Thursday July 28th and I am doing extremely well!! I do have a little pain and Im a little gassy but nothing I cant handle! Just wish I weren't so darn sleepy!

I am a bit less sleepy today, I think the walking is helping with that. I also took a shower this morning, it has been 48 hours since surgery and my paper work said 2 days, same thing right? I feel like a new person after my quick cool shower. Hope you start to feel better too~Mandy

Welcome to bandland!

Congrats to both of you!! Can't wait until I can join you.

congratulations to both of you

Today I feel great! Starting passing gas like crazy yesterday and it never felt so good. It really helped when I took a walk to a block party and started to see all my friends.I never knew that laying around in the house all day would make me so crazy! Now if that annoying bloated feeling on my left side would just go away I would be perfect!

I am doing chewable gas-x and a a heating pad and it is working like a dream. I set the heating pad for 30 mins and laydown on it. My hubby said I passed gas all night on friday night. My only pain is right around the port area, that is still sore, of course. I am off of the tylenol 3 and taking straight tylenol liquid now. Glad to hear that you are feeling better~Mandy

8 days and counting. I am so excited but getting so nervous at the same time. The posts on this site really help to keep you sane and motivated. Can't wait to get it done. and apparently get past the gas phase LOL..

Welcome to band Land. I had left shoulder pain really bad about 3-4 days out & it took about 3-4 days to go away. Good news is it does go away:0)

The gas is the worest....it will all be over soon. Good Luck and welcome to bandland....

Congrats to you! I was banded last Monday and the gas gets less each day, hang in there!

Congratulations to both of you! I was banded 4 days ago. Still sleepy, and I definitely recommend not bending over to pick up toys (still nautious 1/2 an hour later), but recovery is going pretty well. Going a little insane on the liquids... Glad to hear everyone's surgeries went so well! Anne

So glad your doing well. Gas~X was my best friend right after sugery... and still is some days LOL!!! Hang in there each day will get better and better as you get your strenghth back!! Congrats on getting banded!!
