Hey there fellow banders, when does the burping stop? I am burping alot even when I change positions or move to get up and walk. I am still on liquids and can feel it going down, will this be the same when it comes to eating soft foods? I too have been sleeping on pillows at my head board because I can not lie flat or on my side as the incisions feel like they are strecthing it is still very hard to move around. How long does it take to start exercising or power walking again? Before the surgery I was walking 3 miles about 3 times per week. Lisa

I was banded on 7/14/09 and I keep burping like crazy. I need to get some 100% juice are there any out there that work well? I just had some Jello and was a little nauseated but it went away. How much liquids should we be getting per day? Lisa

I had surgery yesterday and go to the doctor on Friday the 24th, expect to return to work on the 27th. My stomach is really sore so I have been taking it easy. Take your time and listen to your body. :wub:

I chose Lap Band due as it was less invasive than gastric. I had surgery yesterday and I am up typing in this chat room. I know 2 people that had the gastric and easily started to gain weight right back. I did not my stomach cut and re-routed either. There are plenty of success stories with the lap band.

Anything I need to know now?? I am so ready to get my health back.

Ok my LB is scheduled for next Tuesday and I am getting a little anxious, so what is the biggest challenge with this surgery. I just want to get on the road of being healthy.
