Anyone have any "special" ways to relieve the gas pains after surgery. I will be banded on April 28th. Just trying to be prepared. So far the only thing I know to do is walk, walk walk!

Inuit, Wow that was fast - once you had your initial consult. Good luck - hopefully I won't be too far behind you :-) Suzanne

Inuit - Do you remember how long you waited between your initial visit and your info session? I am not a patient person generally - but I guess there aren't too may options :-) Suzanne

You must be sooo pleased to have a date - I know I would be. I am still waiting for my initial visit. Thursday Jan.22 - barring bad weather. As frustrating as the while process is - due to the waiting - I am anxious to get on with it. My wait to see Dr. B. was over 4 years!

Jenn, did they tell you when to expect your all day info session?

Jenn, it must feel good to at least be started. So what happens on the first visit? I have done lots of reading etc. but things seem to vary from person to person. I was suppose to have my first appointment on Dec. 22/08 - gotta hate that snow!!! I am guessing that I will have at least a month to wait after my first appointment - not good - patience is not my strong suit!

Hi Jenn, No I haven't met Dr. Beausoleil yet. I have an appointment for January 22/09 and I can't wait. I really want to get on with this. I've lost one month due to a snow storm but I'm hoping things will progress quickly from this point forward. Have you met with him yet?

No, this is my first day on this site and am unaware of others. Do you have the web address, please?

Wow! is there usually such a long wait between the first visit and the surgery?

Hi, I am so excited to have a chance to chat with others re lap banding. My doctor will be Dr. Beausoleil in Moncton NB. I am waiting for my first appointment and can't wait to see what the time line will be. I am hoping to be banded just before March break so I can have that time to recuperate and not miss too much time from work.
