Can someone please help me? I lost 9 pounds in 10 days. But now I am on mushies and I have gained 3 pounds back. Is this normal and how much will I gain? I am very frustrated!:cry MonicaP

I was also banded on 7-17-06. I still feel the gas that you are feeling and everyone tells me that is normal. Like last night it was really bad and really uncomfortable, I just took 2 gasx and everything was fine. I don't know about your being cold though maybe you should call your doctor and see if it is normal? MonicaP

I have been banded for 9 days now and just learning how to eat again but so far it is great! If I can help you with anything just let me know!:clap2: MonicaP
