Chuckle - congrats!! I have been taking chewable Gas-X and it is working wonders. Also, make sure you walk around because that helps to loosen the gas from inside of your body. I try to walk for at least 10 minutes almost every hour if I feel up to it. It will get better!! <!-- / message --><!-- sig -->

Hey everyone! :clap2: I am a long time lurker who was just banded on Wednesday and I am feeling great! I am a little sore and tired but that is to be expected! I cannot tell you how happy I am to have had the surgery and to be on the losing side now! I am so excited to begin my life in bandland!! :biggrin1:

Hey Angie, thanks for the warm welcome! I haven't been banded yet, so I am not getting a fill anytime soon! I am excited to see the dr on June 3 to get this show back on the road again. Woohoo!

Hey there! I am new to this board, but not to the world of the Lap Band procedure. I began researching this WLS back in 2001. I went for the first visit with the surgeon, got freaked out that I could actually have surgery and lose weight, and then lost my health insurance so I could not follow through with the surgery. I am recently married, and am getting my Masters Degree in a week and a half. I am going to start teaching English in the fall. I realized that I want a better life for myself. I have severe asthma, and walking long distances has become a chore, to sometimes impossible on my bad days. I need this surgery to live a normal life. I just want to be able to breathe. I am eager to continue on this journey into Bandland

Hey fellow Long Islanders! I am from Western Suffolk and am looking to be banded by Dr. Geiss. I went to see him about four years ago and then chickened out after the first consultation. I am ready to try this again. MY appt with him is for June 3 and I am so excited!
