Hello, I was banded on Friday and seem to have similar problems with gas cramps. I've been walking alot and also sleeping on my recliner. I can hear my belly rumble alot since yesterday morning, so I've been turning from side to side while lying in bed and this seems to help. Today I don't seem to have as much problems with it. The soreness seems to be leaving and I'm alittle less afraid to bear down to pass gas. I've debated on taking some Gas-X .

Hello, I was also banded yesterday and I have alot of the same symptoms. I've been up and walking today to hopefully work out some of the discomforts. I've also been using my pain meds to help keep me more moble.

Hello, I was just banded yesterday and I'm kind of excited about this be the first days of my new life. My bmi was 43 and I weigh 289 LBS at 70 inches. My surgeon was Dr. Mobley from Cincinnati Weight Loss center. I feel they have treated me well. The entire office is 90% banded, to include my surgeon, so when I call there's always someone who can relate. My target weight was 220 lbs, but everyone in the office said I should set my target to 200 lbs. When I paid my fee, it include all of my follow-up visit for adjustment for the nest year. If I was to need a fill several years from now the fee would only be $150. In my small community there are only a few surgeon who do gastric bypass, so I went south to Cincinnati for mine. It's only about a hour drive. I have observed many people from work place have gastric bypass and found very few that had no complication afterwards over the first few years. The complication to the lab band are minimal compair to the trouble I've seen from gastric bypass. Ive worked as a nurse over the last 23 years and after my research made up my mind that this is the safest way to go.
