Hi y'all. I had surgery on Monday and I've noticed thAt I have a lot of gas when I wake up. It even hurts when I breAthe deeply. Is this the same sensation as feeling tight? Ive heard many saying that their band is tighter in the mornings.

Is this pain or tightness im feeling normal in the AM normal?

Get up and walk walk walk....it is not band tightness, most likely is is the leftover blow up gas they put in your belly. The body takes several days to absorb and leave the body.

How long did it take you to lose all your weight?

Adrianna, I don't want to hijack this thread but my journey has been ongoing and learning is a daily occurence!!! I was banded in Oct of 2008 and started losing (after post op gain of 15 pounds) 4 months later when I finally started getting restriction.

Best wishes,
