I was banded 2-18-2008. Lost 48 pounds so far, 16 pounds post-op. Go for my first adjustment on Tues 3-18.

Hi, I'm on my fourth day post op. I, too, wondered what I had done. But reading all of your encouragement and knowing that pretty much everyone feels that way at some point has really helped me. That said, please tell me the constant burping will go away soon. I started on protein shakes today and a little worried that the gas will get worse before it gets better.
