Hi everyone,

I am 3 days post op and everything seem to be ok. During my surgery they found I also had a hernia that needed to be repaired. So between the band placement and the hernia repair I have a bit of pain in the middle of my chest. I know it will be ok eventually. Right now I believe gas is making the opening spaz. Im not loving gas pain. Ive tried gas-ex so far some of the bigger pain is gone but now this fluttering is annoying. My incisions are tight as is the muscle beneath but as I slowly stretch and get moving it becomes easier to move. Anyways.... The gas is HORRIBLE!!!

I was banded on Friday and the gas pains have been worse than the actual incisions for me. I was reading on these boards and someone recommended using a heating pad. Let me tell you, the heating pad has worked wonders. Yesterday, my shoulder was so sore I could barely move it and today, I feel so much better.

I'm two days post banding, and sooo glad to know i'm not the only one suffering through the gas pains! I found a heating pad to work well with my old acid reflux pains, so I think i'll try it tonite.

I'm 7 days post-op and days 2-5 were horrible for me. I had the worst gas pains that I couldn't get rid of. I don't have a heating pad so I wasn't able to try that ... but walking and Gas-X didn't help. I still have a spasm in my esophagus that's painful but it's slowly becoming less frequent. I feel pretty darn good today! It'll happen guys, hang in there! :thumbup:

What is the esophagus spasms? I think I may be having them. I just got banded 4 days ago and the discomfort from the gas seemed to get better but today I have been trying to get down the protien shakes and Water and it feels like there is a pain in my chest. I cant finish eating and it hurts when the food hits the band. Any suggestions? I figured it was just from swelling and I am going to try the heating pad. Has anyone else felt like this?

GAS!!! Most likely. I had gas pains up to about day 8. The worst was through day 5.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks
