Hi Everyone, I was banded on April 28th and yup i'm still bloated, hicupping and have that terrible pain in my chest when I drink water too fast! Heck at least I know for sure now that this is normal!! I do have a weird taste in my mouth though (prob from the protein shakes) and was wondering if anyone has any suggestions? I have been brushing my teeth alot and sometimes a sugar free mints helps. Thanks!!

I was banded on the 28th and I have to admit it did knock me out the first few days, between the gas pain and shoulder pain, but today I actually feel i'm almost back to normal!! started protein shakes today and they aren't as bad as I thought, and I lost 5 lbs so far (14 including 2 wk pre op diet)...its so nice to have support from u guys!! :0)

I was banded this past Wednesday...is anyone having these "burping" sensations?? and hiccupping alot? And my "girdle" thing is very uncomfortable...not to mention that its 85 degrees where I am and i have to wear these tights to prevent blot clots...phew!! anyone else have to do these things??? Just curious...still happy that I made this decision :0)

My date is April 28th, i'm really excited and ready to go! On day 11 on the South Beach diet (not sure why they didn't put me on the liquid diet), a little crabby without carbs and stuff but it will be worth it!! Hang in there everyone!!
