ewwww, it's so uncomfortable. I had my surgery on Monday and let me tell you I can feel it inside me. There's a funny sensation in my chest. I hope this goes away soon.

Welcome to Bandlandia!

yes, it gets better, so no worries.

(oh, and to fix you ticker, go back to the ticker site, create your ticker, but use the CENTER bit of code, not the HTML code.)

Oh Star....that sucks. Honey, stay strong. Make sure you are taking your pain meds on a regular schedule. Stay AHEAD of the pain and don't let it get too bad.

Each day gets better to stay head down and determined.

And congrats on your surgery!!!

Hi Star,

Sorry your not feeling so well yet. It really does get better... I recall waking up the next day wondering what the hell I was thinking and here I was in a foreign country to boot... Once I got up walking around it helped. Two nights after surgery I had to walk just to get around an airport to get back home. The next day I was shopping at Costco... It took a while before I could lay on my stomach and maybe a couple of weeks before I could bend over but it all did get better. Definitely keep ahead of your pain with the meds. Best wishes, Teresa

Sorry your feeling so bad. I remember not being able to get comfortable to sleep. But it will get easier everyday. Remember to get your fluids in, take those pain meds., and try to walk as much as you can. Hope you feel better soon.

For a week or so I really regretted having the band done. I was in pain, not being able to eat and giving up smoking. I know I cried alot that week, but once the pain starts subsiding you start to feel amazing!!!!

Welcome to band land and yes you will feel normal soon. The tightness in your chest is your belly feeling the swelling. I was worried too, but that goes away in about 10 days or so. Walk a lot, that will help.

Congrats and welcome!!

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
