I am new to the banding, I was banded on yesterday. I was very nervous and

afraid. I am still in the same state of mind. I am sore and filled with gas.

I started my weight gain around the time of having y child and from that moment my weight has been crazy. People still ask me am I pregnant or when is the baby due. My son is 3 and will make 4 in September, so you know thats depressing. My weight was 188 prior to surgery and I have a goal of getting to 135 - 140. My clothes don't fit properly and I hate shopping. I don't find bras that look right on me either. I made the decision to change and my change has started.

Congratulations on the start of your journey. I wish you much success. You may want to try Gas-X strips and a heating pad for the gas. Make sure you walk as much as possible. Good luck to you.

Thank you...I have been popping gas x like its candy...lol...I have had some relief but i am shock to see other things occurring like my cycle coming on. i haven't seen this in a long time due to my IUD...so is it from stress from the surgery.

Your body goes through all kinds of changes after you have the surgery. I would call your GYN and ask them if it's normal for your cycle to come because you have the IUD. I know for me, when I was heavier my cycle was all messed up. After I lost the weight my cycle started to become normal again. Of course I am pre-menopausal now so wouldn't you know my cycle is being weird again. :biggrin:
