Has any6one else gained weight post surgery with the swelling? I've had really no side effects, and feel great. My incisions are kind of itchy, and I do feel like I'm healing from within now. My surgery was Thursday and I'm 8 to 10 pounds up.I don't feel like I have gas, I just feel a little bloated. Come on guys, any input?

Someone mentioned hydrocodone for after surgery. What, if anything, do they prescribe? I'm not into feeling pain if there is something to alleviate it. I have a stash of hydrocodone at home from dental work. My surgery is next week in Mexico, and I think you can pick up just about anything without a prescription. I'm just wondering what I will need.

Thank you for your input, guys. I appreciate it. Laura

Hi guys - I'm Laura, new to the forum, and not banded yet. They could schedule me within a couple of weeks if I want. I keep putting it off day after day because I'm scared! It seems like the first few months are so rocky. My sweetie and I enjoy eating together, and I'm concerned about that. I'm about 70 pounds overweight. How did you guys work up the nerve? I'm excited about the outcome, and everyone sounds so positive, but it's so easy to put off doing it. Any suggestions? Thoughts?
