How was your first few days?
Today is my second day, still have gas pains, did any of you use gasx on your second day? How were you feeling on day 3 when did your pains go away, any take a shower your second day? I want to take one but a lil afraid. When did you guys feel better and felt normal? How long did you walk? 5mins or more? The insicion on my chest hurts, feels like there is gas there, what can I do to make me feel better? Walking does help but kinda makes my stomach hurt ish
-
Will the gas pains go away
the gasx doesn't upset your stomach? Was going to take one last night but I was afraid it would make me sick or something. I get up to walk every hour, when I need to go to the bathroom or when my back aches, I'm tired a lot and when I drink water it's good but I'm afraid ill drink more than what Im suppossdd to be, so I should take gasx? How was your second day of being banded?
-
help!
I had surgery Friday, I was scared too everything went well, the gas pains aren't as bad as yesturday the first night was kinda bad but yesturday when I went home it felt the same, the first night at the hospital sucked cause I felt sick to my stomach cause I took a pain med then they gave me this nausea stuff and I felt better and it helped me sleep, but don't be nervous that makes things worse, you're doing the right thing, the gas part is the only thing that hurts but when it passes it'll feel so much better ah hope mine goes away soon good luck and don't be nervous (:

No appetite ):
I feel so much better today, sometimes it feels weird when I breath deep but it feels good it's weird tho, my left side not near any insicion it hurts but i think that's part of the back pain, I slept with a heating pad it kinda helped, walking does help,,, I hope the pain goes away too, it kinds hurts more in the lower abdomen like when you need to go #2, I'm going totry some broth today maybe it'll help with the bathroom part thanks (:

a few questions.
the gas x doesn't upset your stomach? The only insiccion that hurts is the biggest one but surprising it doesn't hurt as much anymore, I can get up easier, I wish it was day seven for me, I haven't had anything to eat since yesturday, I'm so scared it'll make me sick ahh
