I'm finally banded and am 2 days post op! YEAH!! It really was not bad at all like I thought it would be. As soon as I got to the recovery room I was ready to get up and walk around (but of course they wouldnt let me do anything that quickly My inscisions are a little sore, but nothing major, and I didnt have any of the shoulder pain that I've ready about. My biggest problem now (sorry if its TMI) is gas in my abdomen that just seems to sit there. Any solutions other than walking (which I've been constantly doing)???

Hi all! Im new to the boards but my surgery is scheduled for December 22. I think Im more nervous about the liquid diet more than anything. Hopefully everything goes smoothly and the pain wont be too unbearable. Good luck to everyone with fast approaching dates!!
