The day before my surgery, I went for a walk in the mall to think some things over. I was going down the escalator and my head was down, a man was going up on the other side of the escalator and he said don't worry about it, it will be okay. I looked at him and said I know it will be and he said well you don't look like you know and I wanted to make sure. He smiled and went up. I walked off the escalator and burst into tears because I knew he was an Angel from God confirming that everything will work out.

The gurgling sounds and the loose stools will go away once you transition to solid foods. If you are in discomfort, please call your doctor. I was banded on 11/9/07 and now that I am on solid foods I have a problem with constipation and my doctor has advised me to use stool softners, so this may be something else for u to look forward too.
