I was banded in Nov. and have no problems, I came home the same day and cleaned house. lol Gastric is so severe and I have had several clients who had it and after a few years gained it all back. With the band it's adjustable so if you start gaining you just have it tightened. Good luck and you will make the right decision.

Hi< I live in Avondale Az, it's nice to see some Az people on here. Who was your Dr.? Mine was Dr. Simpson, he's wonderful!!! I was banded Nov 16, and on my third fill. The third fill was amazing, I don't feel hungry and I lost 15 lbs in three weeks, so i'm down now 58 llb. Brittani if you have any questions or want to chat let me know, were all here for you. And walking is the best thing for the gas pains. Good Luck!!! This is the beginning of the new you.

I If you are self pay you wont have any problems. Good luck!!!

Email your Dr. directly, we have the same dr. and he gets back to you right away. I lived on potato soup, I bought the Bear Creek potato soup mix, just add Water. It's yummy!!!!

I got very tired of the shakes and now drink the Protein H2O its really good, it's from the Muscle Milk Products. It's a little expensive but I figure I'm saving a lot of money by not going out to eat.

Sorry your in so much pain, just keep taking the pain meds as scheduled, walking really helps a lot I had no gas pains because I walked around alot and the heating pad works good also. You may be able to call your Dr. for some stronger meds if you need them.

I heard if you raise your arms above your head that really helps. Hope it gets better.

Congratulations!!!!! You will probley hear from your insurance within a few days it doesn't take as long as they say.

Hello, I just had my surgery on the 16th and doing really good. This is a good site to get support. How are you since your surgery?

I was banded on the 16th and yesterday I starting caughing and felt where the port was and it really hurt!!!! I almost felt like I ripped something but today was much better. At least now I know where it is.

Happy Thankgiving to you also, I was banded on the 16th, so all I had was a little bit of mashed potatoes and was satisified. ZChicken and dumplings does sound good!!! LOL

Hi Jess, i use CIB with Protein Powder and a frozen banana, that's really good and I also bought Protein H2O that's good, I also didn't like the Isopure. Good Luck

I was banded on the 16th as well, my Dr. said don't use the gas x because it's not internal gas, it's just gas they pump into you and you need to walk alot, that's what I did and have not had any problems, I know every one is different I also used the heating pad a lot. Sorry i have no other suggestions, hope you feel better soon.
