Had my surgery around 11am....waiting for my prescriptions at walgreens and I'm heading home! Gas pains suck.....FYI

Congrats. Welcome to the land of the banded. Yes, the gas pains do suck. Walk a lot. That will help!

Oh I'm glad to here you made it through ok. Gas pains don't bother me too much.

Yayy...welcome to your new journey ....walk...walk....walk...

Congrads on working on the new you!! Did your Doctor tell you to wear support socks at night to bed.. Walk every 2 hours for the first 24 hours. It helps

Thanks everyone. SO tell me how does this gas ever come out? I am not burping or tooting....but I am walking around my house like crazy bc that's the only way I am comfortable!

The pain is mostly in my shoulder and back....over it! I'm not sure how I will sleep tonight...can't sleep on my feet.

I want to tell I used heat pads to losen the gas in my shoulder.. The gas hurt more than my incisions

Good luck to you! I actually sleep on the couch or on the lounger for 2 weeks . You will find a place.

I sleep in a recliner chair my first night. But I still in the hospital. It was so much easier to get up. They made us walk ever 2 hours
