Most people posting appear to have had a pretty good recovery after surgery but it is important for people to realise that things are not so straightforward for some other people and gas pain can be very bad and may not pass altogether quickly. This can be normal and therefore don't panic (which makes things worse) if your gas is not subsiding as quickly as everybody else says it will. What works for one person may not work for another. Everyone is different.
Post-op recovery has not been such a fun ride for my partner who was banded on the 9th April. She did ok for the first day or two (when only nights were difficult with discomfort from gas and consequent nausea). However, the last two days she experienced extreme bloating and had not been able to keep anything (not even water) down for two days from the nausea and consequent heaving. She has taken a simethicone preparation (like Gas-X), an antacid, metoclopramide for nausea, pain relievers. She is also walking regularly, using heat packs, doing the exercises, having gentle stomach massage (clockwise circles) with lavendar oil - you name it, she's been using it but nothing really took the pain away. As everyone else seemed to be doing it easy, I was really worried. I was particularly frightened that she'd get severely dehydrated. We did what everyone in her shoes should do when things don't feel right - go and see the surgeon.
We saw her surgeon today who checked everything out and reassured her that everything is ok with the band and that the gas problem would eventually pass (when pressed for how long - he replied it varied across people but that in some people it can persist for "weeks"). Lisa is apparently an "air-swallower" (evidenced by the fact that she did a lot of burping before the procedure). It is harder to burp once the band is in and it is this that is causing her extreme discomfort. Our surgeon (who is wonderful) gave her a couple of shots and she managed to keep Water down again before we left is office. She is now resting comfortably and having a sleep. I have everything crossed (even my eyes!) that she'll be feeling better after a good sleep (which has not been possible due to all the heaving she was doing through the night).

I am currently having major second thoughts. I'm due to have my banding done on the 23rd. Most people posting appear to have had a pretty good recovery after surgery but it has not been such a fun ride for my partner who was banded on the 9th April.

Hey Ann,
Mmmmm, the idea of coconut rum in with the shake - as good as a shake can get! Sounds absolutely delicious - I'm imagining adding it to a vanilla shake would result in something that tasted like a pina colada. Ohh - my mouth is watering bad. You are wicked for telling me about this as I can't afford to try this stunt with only 1 week to surgery. Well, I guess you'll have to stop soon enough too (ha ha).
No, not brave to watch the video - STUPID is more like it.
Lisa had a couple of really bad nights and a bad day since I last wrote. Gas pain was really bad and very bad nausea. She was badly badly bloated. She felt as though she was having a heart attack. I tried a massage on her stomach last night (clockwise circles) and this morning she has come good. She released heaps of gas and has been sitting on the loo a lot. She dropped 2kg (4lbs) since yesterday and is back to feeling good. Lets hope it stays this way. She sees her doctor on Friday so we'll check that she's within the bounds of what is to be expected for someone in her shoes.
If any of the other girls are out there, please let us know how you're doing.

Congratulations on your surgery.
Stacey, my partner was banded on the 9th and she has had exactly the same experience. In her case, it was Days 5 and 6 that were really bad for her (though she had continuous pain through to then) - the nausea, heaps of bloating and gas pains - she kept saying that she thought she might be having a heart attack too. Yesterday, she was vowing that she would have the bloody thing removed. Great to hear you're doing better. Lisa's doing better today too - we hope this means a turning of the corner for her. My turn comes April 23 - I am a little scared now after seeing her go through it.
In case it would help you, if you go HERE you'll find a forum of us all going through similar experiences following banding in April.
Also, have added your name to the list of April Bandsters HERE. (I wasn't sure of your surgery date - was it April 6?)
-
Congratulations on your date.
In case it would help you, if you go HERE you'll find a forum of us all going through similar experiences following banding in April. I believe there are a few hungry people around there.
Also, have added your name to the list of April Bandsters HERE. (Because of the time difference between the US and Australia, I wasn't sure of your surgery date - is it scheduled for April 28?)
-
Congratulations on your surgery.
No advice here as I haven't had surgery yet (scheduled for the 23rd). My partner was banded the day after you and unfortunately, she has not been having such a good time afterward - lots of gas pain, serious bloating, severe nausea.

Hi everyone
Updated list available HERE.
To shrink the liver, I was advised to do 3 Optifast shakes plus two cups of non-starchy vegies plus 2 litres of Water per day.
I had a bad headache the first two days that I think were primarily due to sugar withdrawal but am doing a bit better now. However, unlike a lot of people, the feeling of hunger has not dissipated (though it is not as bad as it was the first two days).

Hi everyone,
Updated list is available HERE.
Lisa (NYLady) is now on her 4th day post-op. During the day she is doing quite well but at night (usually between 2am and 4am) she wakes with bad pain (just above her diaphragm and in the left shoulder) and feels nauseous with it (watery eyes, salivating, sometimes dry retching). She feels hot and clammy but has chills all the same time. She doesn't have a fever though. It feels like there's a big bubble of trapped gas that she can't expel. She also feels she has a very acidic stomach (though she's not experiencing any reflux or burning).
If anyone has some advice on how to get rid of a gas bubble quickly (she has used simethicone, has tried walking around for a while) or has experienced something similar, I'd be very grateful to hear from you.
Ciao for now
Lili
