2 day post banding, feeling sore. Trying hard to get that 64 oz of liquid a day down. Lots of burping and gas. Started last year at 259.6. Pre banding 242.6 post banding 2 days 240. Very excited.

Welcome to the site! I've learned alot reading the posts up here...I'm feeling super prepared for my surgery which will be on Wednesday this week 4/27...I'm SUPER exicted! Good luck to you!

Good luck, everything went really well.

Nice to meet you.. I'm sure you'll do great

Good Luck yo you both. Tomorrow is my surgery date! and for some reason I am terrified.

You'll do fine, I went in very nervous and scared. I got out of the hospital 24hrs later....it's 3 days post op I'm doing good, but taking it easy.

If you don't mind me asking how long did you have to deal with the insur. part of it all?

nice to meet you. Im also just a few days post op with TONS of pain and gas... so uncomfertable. How are you doing now??

Hi to everyone!! I was banded on 4/20 and was pretty scared for the surgery. My surgery started at 9:30 and I was awake at 11:00!! Home by 3:00!! Every day seems to get a little better. I to have a lot of gas but it only comes out one way (if you know what I mean?) I would love to burp!! It only comes out like a hiccup. Getting down 64 oz is not fun, I know I don't have that much, but my intake increases every day. Can't wait for Mushies!!! I am craving eggs. Good Luck to All!!

I was banded 4/21! And I agree each day gets easier and easier! I too can't wait for mushies! I just want to eat! not craving anything particular, but I was a 2wk liquid diet preoper, and I'm on liquids 3 weeks post op as well! (1 wk clears, 2 wks full).... So I'm ready to progress! Good luck with everything! I've found a lot of good information on this site and ObesityHelp.com... so I'm so happy they're are so many support forums for ANY question you may have!

Haven't had much gas, but I did burp for the first time today and it felt great!!!

Good Luck to everyone on their journey!

walk, WALK, and walk some more, even if it just in the hallway of your home, but really, you should be out if the weather is nice, even if it is to the corner and back. Believe me, walking is the only nice cure for the gas!

It took about year, I had to jump through many hoops, but they finally covered everything.

I'm totally looking forward to mushies, this liquid stuff is boring. Good luck to you too stay positive!

That gas is no fun, i have to brace myself( how sad is that) but walking helps a lot.
