just got surgery

[tina47]

Hi I think I posted in the wrong area (new to this) just got lap band on 1/8 - folloiwng drinking only broth clear liquids- not sick at all - was able to take pills before i left the hospital - just scared that maybe the band slipped already??? not having any more pain in incision sites just the gas still in my shoulders - would a person be able to tell if the band slipped???? if so how

thanks for your help/advice and recommendations

your band is most likely fine, they put a small stitch to hold it in place and don't forget they don't fill it before you leave. They want you come back and get a fill after everything has settled. You are fine and I felt the same way, good luck in your weight loss

I don't know how you could really tell if the band slipped that early, but don't worry about it. It sounds like what you are experiencing is the same as I did. I felt fine, no pain, could take my medicine fine. I felt great, but I did have the same pain in the shoulder. Don't worry that will ease up.

Don't worry and relax. If you are following directions, you are fine.

Tina,

How are you doing with the band? I hope all is well.
