DeAna how are you doing? And thank you so much for posting the list, it's lovely to see so many people changing their lives.

I just was banded on Thursday the 16th an am on my way back to normal... Sore and tired bit hopeful and excited! Wishing everyone else the best for lifelong success!

Congratulations, I look forward to hearing your progress.

Was just banded yesterday (the 17th) and i'm already having stomach growls from hunger! Whats that all about!? I keep being told that I wont be hungry for a while!

On the bright side though, the surgery went well, so far no gas pains, i'm out and about, and barely feeling nauseous! woohoo!!

Definitely don't feel the band either. In fact if I didn't feel the port I would wonder if my doc pulled a fast one on me

my stomach is making all kinds of noise(day5 post op) but I'm not hungry it is the gas moving around in my stomach.

Congratulations on being banded, it's great that you don't have any gas pains. I look forward to joining you on the other side in 9 days.

it was a difficult couple of days the gas was the worse i would get rid of it & it would return with a vengeance but I'm doing so much better now thank you for asking you day is coming soon are you ready? I know you are

I'm glad you are feeling better, the gas seems to be the most common problem judging by everyone's posts, was there anything in particular you found useful to shift it?

I am so ready for it, I hate to say But it's all I can think about. I'm not scared as I believe there's a bigger plan and it's already mapped out anyway. I'm keeping myself as busy as I can in the hope that the days will go quicker. 9 days but who's counting!!

Have only 8 days to go before surgery. It's starting to seem real now... I'm not scared but just very excited about the trip and the procedure...Good luck to all of you coming up and those who have just had surgery.... Havent' been on here much lately been very busy working....Can't wait to be off 10 days. Yesterday was one of the worst days i've had as a nurse.... ever....

That reminds me i have yet to get my gas-x strips.... DeAna N glad you're feeling better, I didin't realize you already had surgery. I haven't been on here much lately, just been busy.. Good luck and take care....67jax: it won't be long for us now....

I guess the biggest thing I learned was to keepsomething in my stomach I would get rid of all the gas and would be so happy then I wasn't eating & my stomach would feel up with gas again now I eat at least 1oz of food every 15min(my protien shake or soupy cream of wheat) and no more gas now

How's everyone doing?? I am having a hard time getting everything in (protien/water). I feel super full all the time. I never thought those words would come out of my mouth! LOL! I'm only 4 days post op so I am just taking it day to day and allowing myself to heal before I worry about it too much. If I still feel the same next week I'll call my Dr. Maybe the band is too tight?! I hope everyone is having a good day!!

Did u have any fill when the pit it in? Mine Ed Putin empty, but I'm not even interested in food. Judy wanna get rid of my soreness & a little gas left:)

I fell from the list as well. Banded yesterday. Shoulder pain is my main complaint. Hungry also. Looking forward to some Soup late tomorrow.

Yay. Good luck!!
