Hi I was banded on the 18th and i feel the pain as well. the worst part is the gas and the way it moves up to your shoulder. i am also hungry so it makes it harder. the soreness will go away in about 5 days or so. Keep up the good and positive attitude. =D>

Congratulations!!! So sorry you have pain, but it will be gone soon!!

Well, as I said I would keep everyone up to date. Today is 2 weeks since my surgery. Pain is pretty much gone, hunger is there but I am just fighting through it. Today is the day my doctor said I could start on solid foods. I will but I will also take it slow, everything has gone so smoothly I don't want to jeopordize anything. Since surgery I am down 7 lbs in 2 weeks plus the 10 I lost during preop diet. I will have my first fill in 4 weeks. Update to follow in a few weeks.

5/8 MY FIRST DAY POST OP IN THE HOTEL LUCERNA. I'M A BIT SORE, SLEEPY AND NOT HAVING ANY TROUBLE. I'M SLIGHTLY GASSY, BUT NOT REALLY PASSING TOO MUCH. I'M SURE IT WILL IMPROVE EACH DAY. I'M NOT LOOKING FOWARD TO THE LONG PLANE RIDE BACK TO FLORIDA. BUT I WILL BE HAPPY TO BE HOME. I AM A LITTLE HUNGRY. UP TOP I AM FULL, BUT DOWN LOW I AM HUNGRY. I'M STAYING HYDRATED. ONCE I'M HOME I'LL HAVE ACCESS TO MORE TYPES OF LIQUIDS. I STILL CAN'T BELIEVE I DID THIS.

MY STARTING WEIGHT: 270. PREOP WEIGHT: 257.5 GOAL: 140.

I'M NEW TO THIS SO I'LL HAVE TO FIGURE OUT HOW TO GET A PHOTO UP AND A WEIGHT LOSS TICKER, ETC. I KNOW THERE WERE OTHERS BANDED ON 5/7. GOOD LUCK GIRLS!!
