I was banded on 10/26/12 and just started experiencing this horrible gas pain yesterday. Nothing helps! I almost regret doing this. Someone please tell me this will end soon. I'm so frustrated and can't even have a glass of Moscato like I normally would. Help please!!

I had my lapband placed on Friday and I'm feeling pretty good. But I can actually see and feel the port. Is that normal?

I doing well. The gas is a little bothersome, but not too bad. I'm having more issues with the area around the port.

Right now all if eel is gas!

Update: I finally made it home. I'M BANDED NOW!! Feeling pretty good except for the gas discomfort.

Thank you everyone! I've been up all night because I'm so anxious!

I am so excited, yet very nervous. I've lost 13 pounds on the pre-op diet and I can't wait to continue on my journey. This forum is awesome!

Thanks everyone. I will post an update after surgery

Some drugstores sell adhesive remover. If you can't find it your doctor may have some. It comes in the little packs like the alcohol pads.

I'm getting banded tomorrow and I'm very nervous and scared. I appreciate any prayers I get.

But what is PBing? I keep seeing people talk about it, but I'm clueless. Does it mean throwing up?

Thanks everyone

I'm having my surgery on the 26th by Dr. Hollis. Schedule an appointment to meet with the staff. I am self pay also. The staff will talk to you about the payment plans.

I am too. I'm so excited, but I'm tired of these protein shakes. Cooking for my family makes this pre op diet even harder.

I'm still in the pre-op stage. My surgery is scheduled for the 26th.

I had a few club crackers today and I feel horrible about it...kind of. I've already lost 8 pounds since Friday but this pre-op diet is killing me! Am I the only one who has cheated a little?

I started adding fat-free, sugar-free pudding to my shakes and they taste much better.

Hi all. I'm scheduled for the lap band at the end if the month. I'm very excited but the pre-op diet is killing me and these headaches are unbearable! Is this normal?
