I am finding that I have gas so I will try you suggestion. Thanks! I guess I should tell you something about myself. Before actually having the surgery I had had 2 prior referrals. I wasn't sure that it was what I wanted to do, it seemed so drastic. But after travelling overseas and finding that I couldn't walk around with my daughter (whom I hadn't seen for 6 months) I was so annoyed with myself. I found out that the person I was travelling with was having LapBand surgery shortly after we were returning from our holiday, and got a few more answers than I had previously had. By the time Christmas had come and gone I decided that I really had to do something about my weight. I also suffer from hypertension, sleep apneoa, bad back pain from early back surgery, and depression. My friend was going under the knife with Dr Stephen Watson so I went to my doctor and got a referral to him as well, and my doctor also recommended him say he was one ofthe best. Thankfully I got to see him fairly quickly and I was booked in for my surgery 3 weeks later. I am ever so pleased that I have had the band put in place now, because I feel secure inknowning that any weight that I take off I can keep off. Just out of curiosity I jumped on my scales today and i have already lost 1.5 kgs in just 3 days. woohoooooo!!!!!!!!!! Skinny healthier me, here I come!

Hi all, This is day 3 since my banding and I am still trying to work out whether I am suffering from pain (also had hiatus hernia repaired) or whether I am just hungry. I am keeping all my intake down to Clear Liquids, or at least thin enough that I can drink it through a straw. Can anybody tell me which is which? Cheers Teesha
