The beginning........ Commitment to undergo procedure and take the first steLegal8y Today, 10:54 AM Hello all. I am now three days post as I had my banding on Monday. After all I read before the procedure, good stories and bad, what to expect, etc. I can say I feel better than I deserve. No pain, no gas and wounds healing well. Swelling is going down and already lost three pounds. NOT hungry. Following doctor instructions to a T and doing my liquids. I was shocked that my doctor said he found a big hernia and fixed it for me. That apparently has been the cause of my severe heartburn and episodes of nausea. I actually feel great. I can even breathe through my nose which was done with the aid of nasal sprays. Go figure. Not sure what the connection is but mine is not to question. Oh and no gas pain. I had a little twinge in my shoulder, took gas x with milanta chewable and it went away. I know I should enjoy my time off but I am bored stiff. I hope this gives all upcoming bandsters a positive view of what to expect. I felt better reading positive stories than bad experience stories. I think they are a small percentage of people who had this done. It's working! Good luck to all.
