New Realize Band Patient!

Can anyone tell me how long it will take for this swollen feeling in the top of my stomach to go away?  Is this normal?  This is my third day post op.

That feeling will get better day by day- but it is quite annoying isn't it? I felt better almost back to normal by the tenth day! Good luck to you!

Denise,

The only discomfort I experienced was a feeling that I could only equate to when someone does a lot of sit-ups, and an inner chest pain (which I later realized was caused by the intubation). No other pain.

If the pain doesn't go away in a few days, call your Doctor.

Good luck on your Journey !!

Tom
