Hi Planet,

where did u get banded? got ur request and would like to chat as ur right - we have the same to lose it seems.

Hope to catch up soon.

I was banded 8 days ago and I was able to walk around the wards the morning after the surgery. It has helped me heaps to be able to move around as I haven't had a lot of pain, just discomfort.

If you can get up and walk you will find it helps a lot even if you can only walk a little bit.

I had mylap band last year. I still get left shoulder pain and with it i get really bad gas. I only way I get reid of it is with massage it works the best and a heat pad

I was banded 14 days ago and had plenty of pain the next morning I went home that arvo, no bra and trakkie pants are the most comfortable, I still can't sleep on my stomach I guess it will come. I still have pain where the cuts are. but I have lost 16kg pre op and I am happy:cool2:
