Hi everyone! I was banded Nov. 18th and had my first fill on Dec 15th......I just started on real food on Dec 21st. Would I be getting gas pains in my back if I was eating too fast? And how long are you supposed to wait inbetween bites of food? I can't seem to make a meal last 30 min. 10 and I'm done.....

I was banded on 11/18/08 also and have been thinking all the same thoughts. The worse part for me is the gas pains - I am taking the gas-x but still have problems - not to mention the nausea and diarreha.....What is with the back pain? Did anyone have back pain? My post-op appt with dr is 12/1. Does anyone really remember how long the gas pains lasted. I have a bad knee so can't do as much walking as I should. Thanks for your help and support. It is such a relief to be able to read everyone elses symptoms, problems, and successes......I hope to be a success some day and not a whiner.

Hi Everyone: I have a Nov 18th surgery date but want to know if anyone has any info on how to see if the doctor has any complaints registered against him and if he is any good. Any idea of where I could get that info? Thanks
