I am having my Lap Band Surgery tomorrow.

I keep reading about all this pain and weight gain from the surgery.

Does this happen to everyone?

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.

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!
