I was terrified! I had never had any type of surgery. I almost backed out. Then I got in there, they were so nice, it was over so fast. I was a little sore, but had no problems. I only told one person I was doing it. Good luck. Keep in touch!

I was banded on 7/3. Had no problem with the surgery. I am not hungry and I do have the gas and that burping feeling. I also had the diarrea for two days, but I'm o.k. I'm just having problems with the nausea. My doctor gave me suppositories but they really haven't helped. I'm trying to make sure I take in liquids to help with dehydration, but the shakes are so rich, they are difficult. I'm really concerned about vomiting. I feel like I'm barely holding it in. What happens if I do vomit? I thought I heard that it was really bad and you had to be careful. Any advice?
