thats all your suppose to be doing right now, you just had surgery!!! LOL walking around is all your to do,im going on my 5th week and i just started last week goin to the gym,give yourself some time to heal before u think of working out

well count me in with yall LOL I was banded 6-26-08 and have lost 11 LBS, i watch everything i eat and i exercise, i was very angry at first then i realized better to lose something than to be gaining ,but any pointers would be nice lol

you are not a loser!! your human and we all make mistakes,at least you realized your problem and now u can get back in charge! best of luck

well im no expert but i was told 2 days after surgery that i could shower they said the sticky tape can get wet, just no pool,or baths. are you drinking protein shakes? the pain gets better every day,just ,ake sure you are walking as much as possible

I guess by making us less hungery and less able to overeat we lose weight,we still have to make right choices and exercise but maybe with restriction we wont be starving therefore make better food choices, i was just recently banded and havent had a fill yet, I eat a total of 3 cups of food a day and 2 snacks and i am not starving

i use centrum liquid, or centrum chewables they dont taste to bad at al

everyone i know including myself has been intubated

welcome!!!!!!!!!!

I have thought about it for some years, but November 2007 i quit smoking cigarettes after that i gained even more weight, thats when i decided to make 2008 and every year after my year! i figured if i could quit smoking after 20 years of smoking then i could def. have weight loss surgery! i was banded June26th of this year! Amen!! although i am loosing slowly (9 lbs only) its the best thing i ever decided to do.

im also 4 weeks out with the same problem so you are not alone! but i dont know what is causing it ,sorry i cant help more

Cedars is amazing!!! my surgeons name is Dr.Khalili what an amazing place! you will be in great hands!

hey! i also was banded at cedar sinai:thumbup: i was banded June 26th of this year!!! who was your surgeon?

thanks for all your responses! glad to know im not the only one LOL not real pleased to know i might have gas for the rest of my life but at least im not alone ! LOL great way to get a date ! my dogs are always lookin at me like "what the hell was that" LOL

sorry for your struggles, now that things are calming down for you, get back to exercise, start cooking for yourself,and make sure you dont need to get a fill, you can get back on track,i hope everything works out for you

I hope this isnt forever lol cuz this is not kool

i see we are both in Cali! where is fallbrook? southern or northern Cali?

LOL i thought it was just me! i keep hearing 10 days of gas but im goin on 4 weeks ! lol glad to know im not the only one lol

okay im almost 4 weeks out from surgery and still after 4 weeks have gas!! it doesnt hurt BUT i cant stop burping or pardon me (breaking wind) lol anyone else goin on 4 weeks or more with gas still?:seeya:

from what your saying she is eating to much, throwin up then continue eating? sounds like over eating to me, just my 2 cents

I quit smoking 7 months before i got banded and havent touched them again! Amen! try to not light up again its the best thing you can do for yourself, i quit with a prescription from my doctor they gave me chantix and it really worked i smoked for over 20 years a pack day, i wish you the best!!!!

I am 3 weeks out. yes everyday gets a little better i would say for me it took about 6 or 7 days i went back to work 6 days later, it all gets better,the gas is the worst i still have a little bit of left over gas lol
