Thank you ever so much. I worry that I am doing something wrong. I will try the gas x. Have you started to have controllable Bowel movements yet. My are liquid with a lot of force (gas) behind it. Sorry if this is too descriptive. Thanks again, cjjrn

I had mine on the 20th also. But I am not feeling as great as you. My abdomen is very distended. I am very gassy from both ends. A girlfriend of mine didn't have this problem either. But the nurse at the hospital said it was normal. I am about your age. Keep in touch!

I was banded on Thursday August 20, 2009. I keep belching and belching and it is painful. I assume this is normal as the nurse knew about it and just said go ahead and belch. Is there anything that will help this. Has anyone else had this problem? When will I feel good again?

The baggy pantie thing is so funny. I cannot have my surgery until after June (6 months insurance thing). I had to order a couple of pair of new panties, they came in mail today. I opened the package and said "Man, these are HUGE, well, I don't need to go any further, I don't think. . . I will be sooooooooo glad when my panties are baggy. I know I have a long way to go. I appreciate all of your stories and affirmation that I am doing the right thing. 265/?? 5'7" Congrats to all of you. May your panties forever bag!!:cursing:
