I also tried swinging arms in windmill fashion and that seemed to help a bit for me. For Nausea and stomach pain associated with surgery, hot tea with a bay leaf worked great first 3 days post op.... Pain will go away, takes time...

had my first fill today... up until today I had noticed that as the days went on I was more full with less food. Had 3cc put in under fluroscope and I could see no fluid passing with 4 cc in band. 1 cc removed and able to drink fluids. guess we will see what happens by next month.
