Oh, the joys of bowel movement. I never thought I would ever enjoy going potty, but since I am so irregular after surgery, it is one of the highlights of my day, if it happens that is!!!! My surgery was on March 15, 2010, and for the first few days, being on an empty stomach, nothing happened. But that first time, it was very painful. I am still having some problems ocassionally but Benefiber and a sporadic dulcolax seems to work fine.

Tomorrow April 15, 2010 it will be 1 month since I was banded. I am loving every minute of it. If I had to go back in time and having to decide to do this, I will definitelly will. I love eating less and getting so satisfied! Anyway, since day 1, I cannot stop burping/belching all day long. The first thing I do in the morning, even before I start walking out of my bedroom is belch. My chest feels a bit tight most of the day, as if I was full of gas, but belching does not releive the pressure. Does anyone else have these symptoms?
