Things are much better now.. I have lost around 32 lbs still on liquids but looking forward to some mush food on Friday. Take care all

Also a quick note I stopped taking pain killers on Sunday night. No Codine or any over the counters with the exception of Gas X. I did have trouble sleeping Mon-Thurs but thats gotten better also.

After the 5th day or so it seems to get much better. I am now 8 days post-op I still have discomfort but nothing like the first couple of days. My surgery was on Friday August 3rd and two days after I actually got on the treadmill for a 30 minute walk. The walking seems to help with the gas also. Monday I went to work and took it easy and pretty much coasted through the week. Today is Saturday and I feel much better. Good luck..

Good luck!

Yes, I am taking maaloxx.. milk of magnesia... whatever works... I have not found one that works yet. They told me to take the milk of magnesia but I think either I have taken to much or not sure cause its acting as a laxative.. oh yea.. lot of fun here...

I was banded on Friday the 3rd of August and now dealing with post op gas... oh yea its fun... Dan
