  1. Surgery In 4 Days & Nervous About Gas!

    LegalTarheel2005 replied to LegalTarheel2005's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
    So I was banded yesterday afternoon and the gas pains have ranged from moderate to severe. But one think I found online which does significantly help is putting a heating pad on my shoulder. It minimizes the worst pain - doesn't go away but makes it bearable.

  6. Surgery In 4 Days & Nervous About Gas!

    LegalTarheel2005 posted a topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
    Hi all! So I am finally getting the lap band on Friday (woohoo!) but I'm nervous about the gas pains. Is there any way to avoid them or at least minimize them as much as possible? I am a big baby when it comes to pain, and I've heard the gas pains can be awful. Any suggestions are welcome! Thanks!
