hello, for my experience the pain of the surgery was none but the gas pain was hoorible worse than i have ever felt, i gave birth to three kids and this pain was not even close to having kids. it lasted for 2 weeks i did all the stuff the doctor said but really nothing helped thill it totally went away well sometimes i still get it after eating and its bad for about 1 hour,other than that pain wize is no bigge, but let me tell you i did not loose any weight the first 4 months because i could'nt eat any healthy food at all, the only stuff that went down was junk food wich freeked me out i was thinking to my self i spent 13,000 for this bad very discourage but arter a while i decided that not becausei could eat it i would. so i went back to basics diet,exercise cuz lapband is not a miracle at all if you dont change the way you eat and exercise you will not loose weight for some people weight just comes off for other like myself its ben very hard sometimes i feel that it was a waist of money becacse what im doing i could of done it will out the band,i wish i had reserched this surgery more and lissent to all the bad lapband stories out there. hope i dont discourage you that is just my personal experience, stay strog and do wats best for you.
