Anyone Getting Banded In September?

[sbb1222 112]

September 27th here! I am so excited and so terrified at the same time! I have done very well on liquid pre-op diet, lost 11 pounds so far. That is exciting to me! Hope all the other September bandsters are doing well!

Glad you are doing well. I know the gas hurts but it will go away.

That's great that your doing well, i am 8 days now and was 99% healed and walking after 5days, I have been gym last two days and doing as good as I was a week before the op-- but no weight lifting just cardio vascular stuff.

Carry on with the healing mummymegan

Unfortunately, I had gas pains for 16 days. Being on this app i've learned that everyones body truly reacts differently. I have a low tolerance for pain. Keep taking your anti gas meds and walk as much as possible. I found Hot Drinks and rubbing moved my gas. For me the worst of it all was my gas pains.

I was banded today along with hiatial hernia repair. Woke up with lot of pain, but it's better now as I try to walk as much as I can. Have hard time sleeping/laying down on the couch.

I had my surgery Tuesday and came home yesterday. I am sore by the biggest incision and I know when i'm gonna burp quite a bit because my shoulder will hurt. I've been sipping and walking. I'm nervous to last on my side.

At the hospital I am so happy that I brought chapstick!

I can't believe you guys didn't get to stay in the hospital overnight. I wish I could have stayed two nights better drugs and pampering.

I was banded yesterday around noon. I spent the night in the hospital and was was discharged today. Even though they gave me se liquid pain meds, I really miss my PCA pump :'( Fortunately ilL don't have any gas pains (as of yet) so I'm not too bad off.
