After 8 months of insurance hoops and appointments I FINALLY have my date!! I'm October 8th and my partner is October 1st. Anyone else here October bandsters? I'm getting very excited!!

I have the same pain..gad and shoulder. Feels like I have done 1000 sit ups and have gas pain! 3 days post op here!

Just arrived at the surgery center, they will start prepping at 7am and supposed to be in surgery by 8:30. So excited, talk to everyone when I get home and awake

That's great u had a lot of gas pains under my breast and still seems like I'm dealing with the gas pains

I'm in quite a bit of pain. Not really feeling gas anywhere but my chest and stomach right now, did everyone feel the shoulder pain right after or did it creep on you?

I can't think of everyone who had surgery today to name them all, but how are ya'll doing?!

Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using LapBandTalk

I never had it in the shoulders until 5 or 6 days after surgery

Gas pain I'm my left shoulder and last side of back... Not fun but not awful...glad you are ok Fallon!

Shoulder pain was after a few days. I only feel it now when I bend down, it feels like I have a sword inside me trying to poke out from the top of my shoulder. Ouch!

I am home from surgery, no major pain just gas in my stomach but mostly in my shoulders, my husband is making me some heat paks so hopefully it will go away quickly.

Hope everyone is doing well today. Talk to you all later.

Can you send him over to make me some too? Glad all went well.

Hello Folks,

Had mine done on the 9th. Stayed over night due to the late time of day I ended up having surgery. Came home on Wednesday. I'm doing pretty well. Having a harder time than I thought with remembering to sip very small amounts. It's very uncomfortable when that happens!

I hope everyone is doing well.

I'm just really sore. Hoping that goes away during the next couple of days. Going back to work on Monday.

It seems surreal. It seemed like such a long way to this point, but the time went by pretty quick.

I just want to stay obedient to the diet now so all of this doesn't end up being for nothing.That would really stink! To go through all of this and not lose weight because I don't follow the rules.

Best wishes to everyone!

Day 4 post-op. This is the first day I have felt decent. Hardly any pain and hardly any gas. I am still on full-liquids until my post -op on Tuesday. Hope everyone who had their surgery on Monday are doing well. Yea! We made it!

I farted more than i ever have in my life my family would just look at me astonished lmao

Lol, hey I prayed for a fart last time I was hospitalized!!! I'm not afraid to fart & poop! It's important to get those toxins out of our bodies....plus hurts like hell
