Had my operation at Dolan Park Bromsgrove but live in west Wales so feeling a little isolated at the moment. On the whole I feel well apart from sever pain at night from trapped gas. It's affecting my sleep. It's a strange feeling as I don't know how I'm supposed to feel apart from fleeting hunger and fearful that I'm going to somehow break my band .

Would like to talk to all members but would be nice to know someone local as well.

Hi! Glad you are doing well after surgery. Make sure you are walking a lot. If you had you surgery in August, the gas pain should be gone by now. Remember that it will take the full six weeks to feel really good. Your body needs that healing time. Follow your doctors food and water instructions. Let us know if you have any questions!

Meant September !

Your gas should be gone by now since Sept 6. SIP your Water and stay on liquids for a few more days to heal the stomach area. Protein shakes will give you most of what you need.

Best wishes and good luck on your recovery.

Thanks it's nice to talk to people who know .
