He'll everyone,

I was banded yesterday and Praise God everything went well. I had to have hernia repair done also, but EVERYTHING WENT GREAT! I will be honest and say that I had the worst gas pain ever after I was awaken. I just didn't expect that, but I've been takin pain Meds and I'm MUCH better. The gas is from the air that's pumped into your abdomen during the surgery. It's not your normal gas...trust me it's not.... NOW, remember we are all different everything doesn't affect us all the same. I had my procedure about 15 hrs ago and I'm soooo much better. Pray, take your med, include gas-x and walk. I'm moving forward and very excited.... Sistercin

I also had my surgery yesterday. My only real bad time was when my cat started to step on my stomach and last night when I think I had a traveling gas bubble in my abdominal.

Congrats on getting your band.....I also had the gas and it took about 5 days to feel normal with no pain again. Walking was my key because the gas isn't intestinal for any meds.....it is just looking for a way out! LOL. I even named my gas bubble Gus......he finally left me alone!! LOL

Happy, pain free days ahead!!!

The gas pains get better with time. Congratulations on the surgery. Walk, walk, walk, and make sure you get your fluids in.
