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?) :blink: 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!!:D

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.

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
