I had my Lap Band placed April 17th and will have my one week post op doc visit tomorrow. all I can say is ouch!!!

Youre still in pain? Mine was placed 4/18 and I'm much better today.

Hello everyone !!! I had my surgery was on the 19th starting to feel much better today!!!

Had mine April 19th!! 11 pounds down and feel ok just gas!!!

Zena I agree OUCH!!!

One week post op and today seems a bit better. Lots of gas is right. Hope that goes away soon. I've been doing a bunch of walking to help that out.

Hope everyone else is doing better!

I agree, the gas is a B word. It was so bad over the weekend I seriously thought part of my bowel was paralyzed and I had convinced myself they'd have to remove my band to drop an NG tube. (im a nurse but not in the bowel department so in reaching way back in the memory banks I'm sure my details were off). Anyway, I'm eating small amounts of soft mushies and I don't know how it helps, but it really does. my bowel has something to push through and it seems a lot less angry in there. Good luck, gas X strips might help too.
