I am just now reading this but if you are still having gas try warm jello water. It worked wonders for me after two c-sections and a gallbladder surgery. I plan on using after my surgery on the 29th. It helps with gas anytime. Just mix up the jello like you were making to put in fridge but drink while warm. Leslie

Well, I definitely cannot give you any professional advice. Please let me say that up front, just what I have observed. I have seen wonderful sucess stories going in and out our doors each day though. I have attended a couple of support group sessions here at the office and will be attending one tonight. It seems everyone varies quite a bit on when they lose though. Some patients lose quite a bit at first, others don't. Some patients really start losing after their first fill and others it may take a few. The loss seems to happen for everyone but at different times. I would have to say at this practice I have seen a lot of patients lose six to eight pounds every six weeks during the first year as an average. Hope that helps a little. I would not hesitate to call your surgeon's office with any questions you may have about what to expect during this post op stage. Do you have a support group? Honestly, that is where I have learned the most on what to expect. Leslie

Hello All, My husband and I are having surgery on the 29th. I actually work for the surgeon who is doing our procedures so that is a great comfort. We are excited and of course nervous. Great site. A friend of mine is having surgery on the 19th and told me about lap band talk:thumbup:. Leslie
