Healthy-Life2: I had the lapband put in about 10 Yrs ago, and I know the gas pains were tough for awhile, since they had to inflate your insides to operate. That went away pretty quickly. Sounds like they did not give you enough pain meds. Also, you were eating food 5 days after surgery? I think I was on a liquid diet for 2 weeks. No wonder you were vomiting. The first few weeks are not great, but I slept as much as possible. I was exhausted. Unfortunately, I had to have my band removed ten yrs later (scar tissue grew over the port.) I am going back in for gastric bypass. Wish me luck.
