When I had my lapband my torso area was sore..It was hard to bend get up from bed/from a chair. I wasn't lightheaded..so you should make sure you have plenty of fluids. If you are having your fluids, you need to let your doc know you are lightheaded. Hope you feel better. Joan

Hi Lisa, maybee give your doc a call.  I''m not  a doc, but Due to surgery -anethesia with the tube down your throat...you might be getting a little pneumonia ..that 's what the heavy chest makes me think. Do you have a fever at all? When in doubt..call the doc! I hope you feel better whenyou read this. Joan

I just had the lapband actually on the 25th! I am also having a lot of gas pain but i've been doing laps around the house and that helps so much. It hurts while your walking but it starts to dye down a bit. I'd love to get to know everyone as i am so new to all of this. I actually had a consult May 30th and was banded June 25th because as of the 1st my company was changing to Cigna . So i guess i got lucky. If anyone has any advice or tips i would love to hear. Thank you, Katie
