I highly recommend Jean McMillans book Bandwagon. It's got an amazingly comprehensive overview of everything you need to know about life with a band. I do not have the band yet, but will on the 8th but I can tell you what jean says in her book.

Last time I went in for surgery and was denied because I was sick, I was first thing in the morning. I swear I didn't sleep at all the night before!!!! I am SO not a morning person and I was up and at em two hours before I needed to be!

I'm the same as you sort of. I gained almost all my extra 100 lbs in 2 years. I've only been overweight like this for 5 years. Time to get back to skinny me!

That is so great to see!!! Thanks for sharing!

How are you feeling now?

I found it got better after the first 3 days. I've been chewing sugar free gum and loading up on water, and even taking tums or Roland's when the acid in my stomach gets too intense.

I'm both! I crave both at different times of the month. Thanks for responding!!!

I love this thread!

I'm not sure if I missed that it was a surgeons fee or not, but if it wasn't, is it possible it was for a hernia repair?

People say a warm shower helps the gas release from the body. They pump you up full of gas to expand your insides so they can see in there for surgery. If your shoulder hurts, that's usually why.

Yay! Coming up soon for you!!!

I had the exact same thing happen to me. It was heartbreaking. I'm SO sorry!!!!!
