I'm alright! I wake up in the middle of the night with gas pain and pain from my incision. Oh and nausea! But once i take all my meds I'm comfortable again. I was hoping to go back to work in two days. I may be playing that by ear... I had surgery Oct. 11... So I'm three days post op. I have the best tasting shakes! Syntha6 chocolate!

I am doing good. Gas is starting to go away. I've been walking a lot which helps a ton! I gotta admit I'm starting to feel pretty awesome. For those who are still waiting to get banded, try not to stress. It'll be over before you know it. My prayers are with all of you.

Started my pre-op diet today!!!!! Yay!

Congrats! When is your surgery date? It will go by fast.

Surgery is October 24th!

Best wishes to you! I have about 14 hours till surgery!!

Hello everyone! Was banded today! Feeling so so, having bad gas pain and nausea when I sit up. Hoping both of these thing go away soon! Glad to be on the other side though, can't wait for my journey to start!

Congrats!! Yes, those both will go away. Did they give you anti nausea medication? Try putting a heating on the gas pain areas and moving around helps. I am 4 days post op. I am still feeling a little bit of gas pain but not much. Good luck! :)

YAY!!! Welcome to the other side...lol. The gas pain gets better with time. I recommend walking. I've been walking everywhere since surgery and its helped out a ton. Don't rush it though, take your time.

Did any of post ops you have a nerve block when you left the hospital?

I truly hope everything goes well. I will see you on the other side in a few more months.

I did and never needed to use any pain meds.
