I'm Home and Banded....and SORE! I'm in a lot more pain than I thought I'd be in. The gas pain has gone up to my shoulders and neck, and that's making it hard to get comfortable and sleep. I tried laying propped up last night towards one side, but I just couldn't get comfortable. The port site hurts the worst, which I knew it would. It just makes it hard to move. But, I'm trying to look at the big picture and look forward to the weeks ahead. The soreness will slowly go away. I've been taking my pain meds, liquid Lortab, or Hydrocodone. And taking Gas X for the gas pain. I'm slowly sipping on water just to keep me hydrated, my mouth gets so dry. Anyway...one day at a time! I wanted to post my starting stats, and my stats the day or surgery. I wanted to do measurements to see how I did.
