Kakki Thanks for the info on the Gas-X strips I bought some last night and am currently putting them to use. That seriously is my only tough thing I have had to deal with.

Thanks again for the input. Seeing you are a couple days ahead of me .. how you feeling now and have you lost much?

Lindaa - peaches, I had my surgery in Sandy Utah last Friday by Dr. Hansen. It has gone alot smoother than I anticipated.

When did you have yours done?

Good Luck Alliecat- I hope it goes as smoothly for you as it did for me last friday!!

Seminar June 10th

Preop Visit - June 26th

My band was July 10th. 4 days post op

I was banded July 10th. To me its been a snap, very little pain, no problem keeping liquids down at all. Stomach is a little sore, but the biggest annoyance I find is the growling stomach and gas pains. Does anyone know how long they go on?

:unsure:Hi I am new to this website and looking for a good support group that can help me with the ups and downs of the journey.

I have had almost no pain, I think I took pain medication 2 times since being released.

Alot of you are talking about taking in protien the first 1 -5 days. I drink Special K protien Water but nothing else, but broth, that water, sugar free Jello and as much water as I can..

Should I be doing more?

Does anyone have a MAJOR growling stomach. I am not hungry, but the sounds of my stomach you think I was dieing.
