Well I'm new to the land of lapband. It's pretty exciting. I'm still in a bit of pain when I move but I can get comfortable.

I'm 23 and in Australia. Pretty excited about starting my new life. Please wish me luck on my journey :)

Hi there! I'm 2 days post op and feeling about the same as you. Had some pretty wicked gas pain yesterday even with walking, but better today. Actually not in much pain at all if I stay still. Best wishes to you on your journey!

Newbies, get up and walk as much as you can. Start out at 5 minutes every hour. That will help to get rid of the gas pain.

Congratulations and good luck. Keep us informed o. How you are doing!

Awesome! I had mine on 8/20/12 I am down 22 lbs. It was the best thing I ever decided to do. I had pain the first week. The more you can walk the better. I started at commercials I would get up and walk around my dining room table until my show started. I still have some problems bending over, but it is getting better. I am walking more and more every day and I am starting a Water aerobics class in a week. I get my first fill on Wednesday and am looking forward to it as I am hungry in between meals. Good luck to you. The hardest part is over.

Best of luck! I was banded on 09-06-12 and I agree with everyone on the walking. I am not having much pain other than when I drink something. When I drink anything (even water) I get pains and feel the need to burp. I am a huge Water drinker so it is weird not to drink a lot. The Protein Shakes seem to go down a little better.

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

        Have a great Wednesday too! Sorry you're hungry all the time, I'm pretty much the same..and I'm sick of eating the same food all the time.

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
