Glad to hear that! feel better soon chica!

Thank you, but I think that you think that I'm the person that was recently posting about it, I was just stating that mine was normal. Lol. Or so Dr said.

I had the same horrible headache after surgery. I suspected mine was from dehydration and lack of food. The day after surgery i got my 64 oz of liquid in. But not until i took substanance like chicken broth did it go away. I would suggest to be sure you get your liquids in and then whatever your doctor had on your list for substinance. I am actually just eating broth and watered down yogart with some additional Protein Powder right now.

Jealous. I actually called about pressure on my sternum and not being able to burp. I was asked if I was eating food, I said no..then they basically said I shld have no need to burp since im on liquids and that the band is still settling in. im still frustrated. I also sneezed really hard and thats when the pressure started..

I am still having pain, but taking gas pills faithfully. It does get better.

I just saw this thread! I was banded on 10/26/12. I am so looking forward to tomorrow to start my protien shakes and yogurts. I have not cheated but yesterday and today I am really wanting something other than broth, Popsicles, Jello, low cal gatorade, and water! Reading all these posts is really encouraging. I am glad I found this thread. I have no real pain and I have had no pain med since day after surgery. My port is u der my arm and was sore for a few day, but feels much better now.

Someone posted to bend over about 1 min after drinking to burp and it actually worked. I bent over like a limp rag doll with my arms handing down and the burping was an incredible relief. You can try it, at this point, you have nothing to loose!

Tpenny90 lol I agree. I'm a pastor but I'd have no trouble taking someone out if they this is the easy way! We will all feel normal again soon!

that's good to know, that the result was normal and you are feeling well.

Well, I am to days post op and so far so good. I just keep wondering if I am ever going to get the gas pain that everyone talks about. If I haven't had any yet, will I not get it? I am sill low on energy but that is really the worst of it. I have had one anxiety attack thinking "

what the heck have I done?" I have irrational thoughts like what if I can never eat foods I love again. As an addict, that is a hard thought:(
