I am definitely interested in this. I live in CT so either would be fine for me. I am 4 mos. post op and could use the support and knowledge of some veteran bandsters.

Hi All, I am new to this forum. I am 8 days post-op from my banding. I had it done in CT. Like choopie, I had a lot of gas and chest pain. It is just now getting better. Walking did help, especially when I could feel a big gas bubble coming up. Having only full liquids to eat did not help at all. I never thought I would be so excited for pureed mush! AFter reading some of the messages on these forums, I am so afraid of PB'ing (had to look it up and see what it meant). Any advice on how to prevent or deal with that when I start on solids?
