Got banded this morning. I'm a little sore not much pain. The discomfort seems to be from the gas which is not too bad. Been sipping liquids and the overall experience so far has been very satisfying but I know it has only been about ten hours. Did any one else get banded today?

Congrats! Glad to hear you are doing so well fresh out of surgery! I am scheduled for April 5th and can't wait. Hope your recovery is a breeze!!! Keep us posted on your progress!!!

Congratulations on your surgery. Yell if you need us!

Glad to hear you are recovering well. It always makes me feel good to hear these stories of a great recovery???ƒ. Can't wait to hear more of you.

I get mine on Tuesday !!! but I'm glad to hear how well you are doing

so how are you doing?

Got mine yesterday(3/26) and am now home. A little discomfort from the gas but no pain from the incision sites. Had my breakfast and lunch broth and no hunger pangs. Trying to walk so get the gas gone. Hello new life and thanks to all of you here who have been so helpful.

I just got banded too, yesterday 3/26...i have gas pain under the left side of my ribs and behind my left shoulder that i wish would go away..i don't feel hungry at all which is good since at this stage we're surviving on liquids lol..how are you feeling?

I was banded Friday the 22nd, the gas pains are starting to feel better today 5 days post op. Walking did help, I tried Gas x it did not work for me. The gas got trapped around my upper chest area making it extremely hard to breath in, but I just continued on with my breathing exercises, and slept with a heating pad. I made sure to walk each day. Last night I was starting to wonder why I did this but today has been a much better day!! Thank God!

Congratulations and the best of luck to all of you newly banded losers! I say that in the nicest of ways... It's a great journey if you follow the rules and make that your way of life. Good luck!

Good luck to all of you! This is to a new life !

Happy Easter everyone...so today marks 5 days post op and my stomach is being very vocal, rumbling everyone minute and when i lay down it makes weird noises...is anyone experiencing this? The protein shakes are not cutting it, i am drinking 2 oz every half hour and say i take a sip at 11:30, my stomach starts growling like 11:45, my hunger is not satisfied at all...on top of it my mother is cooking in the kitchen and i smell it, I'm trying to isolate myself in my room which is petty depressing but I know its for my own good...but God it sucks
