Hey Rocky, way to go! Im glad it is over for you too! At least you stayed the night, my surgery was at 2;30 Monday and at 5:10 they were sending me out the door! My husband wasnt very happy about this, I just figured I was the last case for the day and they wanted to go home.. Its now Thursday and I finally ate alittle Malt-O-Meal. I feel like I need to do a major major BURP but cant??? Did you feel this way as well? Feels like a hugh lump in my throat..Im alittle sore, but it was not as bad as my 2 C-sections Ive had so I can live w/this. Hope you have a speedy recovery!!!

I just wanted to see if there are any other friends out there that are/had a hard time eatting after lap-band?? I am just 48 hrs out of surgery but cannot seem to want to eat! Ive tried sipping on chicken broth and just ate alittle yogurt. Is this normal?? Im up walking around just fine, its just a bad gassy feeling like I cant eat and hold it down.. Thanks for your help..

Thank you to the both of you! Its now 2:20am and I cant sleep, I just took pain meds and anti-nausea med. Hope they both kick in soon. Thanks for your help!

I'm looking to you my friends, I just had my lap-band done yesterday afternoon, I did really good today, walking around alot and rolling my shoulders but my this afternoon The pain behind the breast bone is worse!! Ive taken my pain meds and hope they kick in soon. Does anyone have another idea to get rid of the gas pain?? Ive tried gas-x as well.. Please help!! Dina

Thank you so much! Hey, how did you get your TickerFactory on there?? I cant figure it out???

Hello everyone! My name is Diane and I just got thru w/my pre-op appt, Im scheduled for surgery on 3/28/07. Just wondering if anyone has some words of encouragement!! Im so ready to do this! Its been a battle for the last year & 1/2 w/the insurance company. My advise on that is, dont give up!! You can win w/the ins co. It just takes time. My sister-in-law had the surgery 12/27/06 and has lost 38 lbs..I've heard alot about the post pain from gases used to inflate your stomach area stuck in your body. Does anyone know of some moves to get that out in case that happens to me?? Im just looking for some do's and dont's..Thanks everyone!
