:thumbdown:How long will this last?I just feel like I have absolutely no energy. Ive never been put under until this surgery so I dont know if its normal so be tired days after or what? Then of course I physc myself out and keep giving myself unnecessary aniexty. I have bad aniexty as it is..ugh! so far I dislike lapband!

I also got banded August 11, I still feel sored, chest pain when I try to breath, My doctor has been very expecific with the diet to follow, only Water and medicines, I feel very weak, but will manage, the only thing that makes me feel bad, is that I have experiencing a cough sometimes when I talk for a little while or if I am laying down in bed, my doctor prescribed something for that and hope it would do better. I still feel there is something pressuring my stomach, and I believe it should be normal, but I hope this feeling will dissapear with time, as it is uncomfortable.

I just feel optimistic and know that no matter all this issues I will overcome and will loose weight and then I will realize it pays off.

Good luck to everyone in this journey.

I was banded on July 17th. I had alot of the same problems. I was very weak for about a week and a half. When I went for my one week appointment, I told them how I was feeling. I told them that (like you) I hated the band and was having feelings of wanting it out. They told me it was ALL normal. Once I started eating mushy foods, I felt soooo much better. I went back to work and got alot more active. I feel pretty good now, and I don't regret my decision. Give it time! It will get better.

Please give yourself time to heal. Everyone does not heal at the same pace. Your took a lot of time researching and collecting the information about the Lapband. Recovery should have also been one of the most important pieces of information that you read. So chill out, relax and read a good book. Fanasize about how good your are going to look. Your body will do what it needs to do and that is heal at it's own pace. Good luck.:biggrin:
