Got my band 4 hours ago and I'm at my hotel relaxing. So far the only issue is the gas release. Can't wait for that to be gone!! Once this groggy feeling goes away I am going for a little walk. :$ super excited!

I had the gas pains for two days, I hope it's faster for you. CONGRATULATIONS, on getting the band, you are on your way! I'm happy to hear you want to get up and walk, that is what made my gas go away. The doctor's office said, walk, walk, walk, that will allow the gas to leave quicker - something about the position you are in when walking. Good luck with your surgery recovery and your band, you'll do great!

Congrats on your surgery!!! I had mine yesterday and the gas is by far the main problem I'm having. I've used the gas stops, walked and now wrapped up in a heated blanket ...hoping for relief soon!

Welcome to the other side! My gas lasted about 5 days or so but then I still got lingering shoulder gas for a few weeks after that. Walking and a heating pad helps.

Rest up...be patient with your recovery.....be good to yourself!

      Happy Wednesday!
       
      I hope everyone is having a lovely week so far! 
      It's been a bit of a struggle this last week...I'm hungry ALL the time.

        Have a great Wednesday too! Sorry you're hungry all the time, I'm pretty much the same..and I'm sick of eating the same food all the time.

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!

      Having gall bladder surgery in a few days and I so hope the recovery is easier than the one from the modified DS! I could use a bit of luck/pep talk for a change. I'm starting to be able to walk around without experiencing dizziness, but it would be great if the random pain in my chest and abdomen would go away!!
