Hi Waldog, I actually had surgery on March 14, 2012 and I was told the pain was air that is trapped since the procedure was laproscopic. But oh my gosh! That pain is crazy pain, I know exactly what you mean, you are not alone and it will fade after about a week, I promise! Just remember it's for a great reason otherwise we would not have even thought of doing this, right? Good luck and remember it will seem more positive as the days go by. Take Care 40nlivin

Hello! I got banded on March 14, 2012, after a few weeks of waiting for insurance approval. I can't believe it's already happened, I was so ready for a change in my life. I have three children who just can't wait to see me run and jump on the trampoline. I received my first fill on April 9th, 2012 and I now have 5.2 cc's total. My appetite still seems to be a bit large, should I be worried?
