I was banded Monday came home Tuesday, everything went well but I am having trouble sleeping. I also feel like I either have heartburn or need to burp or something and it hurts. Is this normal? Other than that it went well and I'm feeling better each day!

Sounds normal to me. Don't forget to walk walk walk and sip sip sip!!

I was banded on Monday too! I am having the same problem. I feel like I everything is in my throat and feel like I just need to burp. I have walked and walked and walked! I guess this is normal though!

Gas x strips or chewables help with the burping along with the recommendations above to walk walk walk! I slept on the couch propped up for a week before I felt comfortable laying down. Best wishes!

Hi everyone just got banded Monday and i am having the same symptoms. Gas X and walking is by far the best. I think my sleeping short time frames is due to my apnea I am swallowing air which then cramps me up, again walk walk walk. Does anyone know when it's safe to start light lifting like l laundry baskets etc?

I got banned yesterday and the gas is horrible! The hubby just ran to the store to get me some GasX strips. I hope they work!

Thanks for all the suggestions! It is getting better each day. I go back to work Monday so I am hoping to get things down by then!

Thanks!
