I would say day1 I was like this isn't bad( I was still at the hospital) and then the morhpine wore off DY2-3..I was like you have to be kidding me and I'm suppose to walk and drink it was the worse I was so swollen internally from the pocedure and externally from the gas and fluids. DY4 I was like Ok I just might make it and everyday has been better today I actually noticed the birds chirping and the sun shining(DY8) so I am wishing and praying you through to DY5(better safe than sorry..HAHA) just so you know I am so proud of you I know there are people that want to be right were we are but haven't gotten the nerve up to do this be WE DID IT our future is so bright I have to put on shades(so I'm a corny sap when I'm happy...

hang in there Dear heart it's so worth it it just sucks in the beginning i think day 2-3 were the worse and then I started to feel better each day after so hang in there you can do it

I'm sorry I'm 1wk out now no pain under ribs my gas likes to hang out in my left shoulder sometimes it is pretty bad I hope you get some relief soon

way to go I haven't weighed yet I have my appt next weeks so it will be a big surprise I was so swollen so I have no idea at all

congrats to you all

CONGRATS.....sorry to hear your in pain the shoulder pain was the worse to me it does get better hang in there I am 1wk post op and I feel better everyday so hang in the there is light at the end of that tunnel your in I promise.

I didn't weigh after surgery because it can be discouraging u were pumped full iv dripped to ensure you were hydrated & getting some nutrition in addition you were inflated with gas until you release the gas fluids and swelling it is not your true weight don't stress yourself out I was banded on 15Aug and I wont know my weight until 30Aug when I go to my follow up appt

Gas X really didn't work for me I do agree that the gas is not located where the gas x would be beneficial. a lot of the gas has left but there is still alittle I notice it more when I start to get full so I take that as a signal my stomach has had enough to eat still no apetite yet(pleased by this) I am hoping to get rid of the annoying left shoulder pain I'm praying daily that it goes away and doesn't return but so far it is still showing up especially when it is time for bed.

HAPPY BAND DAY...sending prayers and love your way I'm so happy for you
