Pre Surgery

Nope... Didn't happen to me. I never had a gain on my journey. And the pain was bearable. It was just the gas that was uncomfortable for a week or so....

Best of luck to you.

Good luck tomorrow. The gas wants to leave the body so it goes to the shoulders. Heat helps, heating pad, things that can go in the microwave.

Congrats and good luck

I didn't really have any pain. I only took a pain pill the following morning because I had one heckuva a headache. Everything else was just achy, like a mild stomach ache.

Thankfully, I didn't have any weight gain. Maybe you read about that because people were constipated, something happens often when you're banded. Well, often for me anyway.

Remember to walk, walk, walk, use the heating pad, have gas ex on hand & sip your drinks.

You'be fine!

No weight gain at all. I do agree with the stomach gas. My doctor told me to take Gas X strips and they really helped. Also gas from surgery did go to my shoulders. I was given pain medication for that. Walking also helps. Good luck!
