I had SILS in May. I was feeling a lot better on day 5. Good luck!

Kathy do you have gas pain?

Yes ! I do I try to walk it off that seems to help during the moment until it passes by! I've been taking my Pepcid as well as gas x as told. It's day 3 for me and I'm slowly getting better n trying to stay positive

I had my surgery this morning and am doing ok but drugging with pain and nausea. I hope it passes quickly. My surgeon was great!

Congratulations! I had mine this morning too! Who was your surgeon? I had Dr. Glasgow. He was great too. I am so excited and also relieved it's over! Can't wait to eat real food again in a few weeks! Well good luck, and let's hope we heal quickly!

Yippee, got my date today. I am being banded on September 24. I am so excited but nervous.

I'll be banded on the 24th, too!! Let the countdown begin!!

Me, September 11th!!! Excited, nervous, happy. :) Starving. Lol. Looking forward to my new healthier lifestyle.

The gas pain wasn't too bad after day 2. I walked as much as I could and used gas-x strips.

Congratulations to both on your surgery today- hope you both heal well - keep me posted on your progress please - best wishes

Thank you very much! Will def. Keep you posted on progress. So far so good! Just had an amazing nurse. That can make all the difference! Sad to see her shift end!
