Banded 2/26 in Grand Forks. Soreness is getting better, but the gas is driving me nuts! Pain med is good though :eek: I have to go back to work on Tuesday and am a little worried whether or not I can. Maybe I'll just do a 1/2 day. My next dr. appt. is Monday - maybe they can give me some suggestions for the gas. Beginning weight was 235 - weight today today is 225 is I can honestly say I lost my first 10 pounds (although I lost 9 pounds prior to surgery and then gained it all back). If anyone has suggestions about how to better get rid of the gas, I'd appreciate it!

Got banded 2/26 and also gained about 8 pounds when I stepped on the scale when I got home. From what I've read, this is normal - don't worry. I've lost 6 pounds of it as of this a.m.
