Good luck! Put it in Gods hands. If you believe in prayer, say one and trust Him to see you through. Post when you're up to it

Banded May 14th, and doing well with minimal discomfort.

One thing, my legs and hips are achy when I lay down..strange. And I still fell bloated and swollen.

How is everyone else doing ?

And how do I get the ticker to show ???

Has anyone had constipation yet? I had lots of bowel movements pre-diet. But after surgery nothing! Hoping that it has to do because I haven't eaten food yet? Start mushies on saturday!

I am not constipated yet, but I have not had a bowel movement yet and I had surgery on Monday. I'm a little worried about that. I took colace yesterday, but still nothing

I was banded may 14th also. Today is the first day I feel half way decent. I just got up and starting to drink. Today I am going to try 8 ounces in a half hour. I can feel everything going down. I only did one pain pill overnight, so I'm going to try to come off in the next few days. The gas was awful yesterday and today I still feel it, but not as much. Hope all ones well over the next few days.

You will be fine and just think, next time you wil be encouraging someone else. Just try to relax and before you know it, you wil be waking up.

Hi! I was banded May 15th and the gas has been the most uncomfortable for me. A little soreness around the largest incision on the side. Today I feel better, been burping a lot so that gas is moving around, thank goodness. The swelling is going down pretty good and I get to remove my bandages today.

I hope your hip pain goes away soon and that you find comfort

I am relieved to see this..I can feel everything going down too. Not in a hurtful way, I do notice it.

I was banded on the 14th also- my legs were achy too but much better today. I can tell the bloating and swelling is going down as well but that seems to be slow. It must be the gas. It seems that the band is tighter in the morning too- anyone else have that experience?

I have been walking, taking sips of water, they prescribed me Docusate the stool softener and I've been taking Gas-X strips faithfully. I think that has helped tremendously. I hope your gas moves around and out very soon. I know how you are feeling. The gas pains are worse than the pains from the incisions (in my opinion).

12 days post op and doc said I can start mushies today EXCITED!!!!!

Good luck to all the new bandsters, I ve been where u are and it really does get easier you'll see
