Congrats! My surgery was the 18th and other than the gas pain, things are going great. No need for pain meds. I'm having a little trouble sleeping, but u think it's because of the gas. I can't wait for my first post op appointment next week too!

I was banded on 3-18 and so far so good, except for the gas pain in my shoulders. I was surprised at how little belly pain I have experienced. In the hospital the nurses kept asking if I needed pain meds, but I didn't. Gas x and the heating pad are getting me through the shoulder pain. Looking forward to my first post op appointment next week so I can be advanced to the next stage.

I had my banding on 3-18 and all is going great! The only major complaint I have is the horrific gas pain in my shoulders. Gas x and the heating pad have become my best friend. I am tolerating the clears and am looking forward to my first post op appointment to be advanced to the next stage. How is everyone else doing so far?

Perkasie here!

I'm on day 4 of the pre-op diet. So far so good. I can't wait for the 18th!!

Today begins day 4 pre-op! Surgery is in 1 1/2 weeks!!! So excited for this new chapter in my life.

Thanks for the information! I started my 2 week pre-op diet today and I have some insight for the future. Thanks again!

Congrats!! Mine is scheduled for 3-18. Nervous and excited at the same time.

Good luck!!!

That's great to hear! I start my prep on March 4th. I've been trying to lose a little before that starts. Your weight loss is awesome so far. Hopefully you will start to feel better real soon.

Thanks! I am really excited to get started. How are you doing so far? Has the adjustment been what you expected?

Hi. I am scheduled for surgery 3-18-15 and am looking for a mentor/buddy. I would love to talk to others and learn everything I can.

Hi everyone, I have set my date for 3-18-15. Would like to meet others scheduled for this March.
