Yes ,i had the same thing. It is just gas.Welcome to Bandland!! Donna:gluck::welcome::welcomeB::eek:

:biggrin1:Hi Jane , I am 54 and have had my band two months. I love it!!!!! I do not have the craving to eat all the time anymore. I have not had any junk food or fast food in two months. I do not eat anywhere near what i used to. I also recovered from surgery very quickly. No problems other than gas pain in my shoulder, and that goes away in a few days. I also feel better than i have in years. Donna :clap2::ranger::whoo:

Welcome to all the new folks. You will find a lot of great support on this site. Hope everyone has a quick recovery. Donna

Welcome to Bandland!! I love mine and hope you will too. Donna

Welcome to the site and best of luck to you. Donna

I would get another doctor. I think you need to feel good about the doctor you choose. Donna

Thank God i did not have to do a Pre-op diet! My hat is off to all of you! Donna

Congrats on your band!!! Your strips will fall off on their own. Donna

It really does get better pretty quick Try a heating pad if you get the gas pains in your shoulder. Walk a lot for everything else and drink your liquids. Best of luck. Donna

I always say i would never get married again, but i might.

Get out now, he has made his choice. Donna

I don`t care who anybody marries. Donna

Welcome Crash. Enjoy Mexico! Donna

I am so glad i went to Mexico. You do not have to jump through hoops for months there and it is much cheaper. My doctor was very nice and the hospital was beautiful. Also only 8000 dollars, airfare and all. Loved it. Donna

Hi Chris! Welcome to the site. Glad it is going so well for you.I love mine too. Donna

Hi I had mine almost two months ago for many reasons. I hated the way i looked, i had trouble putting on my own shoes,ect,ect. It was a great decision for me. I feel great and have lost almost 25 pounds already.I am not very hungry since i had it put in and that makes it so easy to eat right.

The way the lapband helps me the most is that i am just NOT hungry like i use to be. I can eat whatever i want. It all goes down just fine. But i am making MUCH better choices now because i have much more control. I do not crave things like i use to. It is wonderful. I was a self pay in Mexico also and i am so glad i did it. Donna

Mandi, Good luck with your upcoming surgery. Hope you love your band as much as i love mine. Donna

So glad she is doing ok.Hope it goes as well for you. Donna

Best of luck on your journey.I hope it works as well for you as it has for me. Donna

I have completly changed the way i eat. If it is not good for me it does not go in.I paid a lot for this surgery and i mean to make sure it works for me. On the way to onederland!!!! Yea!! Donna

I am really afraid to eat chips or ice cream, or any other junk food. I think that if i start that i will go right back to a lot of bad habits. So i just do not eat them at all. I do not eat any fast food either. Hope to make new and better habits. You have done great on weight loss so far!!! Best of luck Donna
