    I friend of my who was banded said the best thing to have is gas-x strips that melt on your tougne. I have not been banded yet the 25th but I have bought two boxes just for that time.

    I was banded on 12-20-10 and I brought with me to the hospital : loose fitting pajamas, toiletries, slippers, robe, computer (for down time), gas x stripes.

    To alleviate pain - make sure to take your pain meds as often as they are recommended by your doctor.

    Gas pain - Use the Gas X stripes and walk, walk, walk. .the more you walk the better off you'll be.

    Nausea - Take your nausea meds that your doctor will give you, remember you must make every effort not to vomit to avoid possible band slippage.

    Hope this helps you!!

    Good Luck!!
