MY band was put in yesterday! I flew into MX and straight to the hospital for me! everyone was so nice and the hospital so clean!! It was more like a hotel room! Anyway...Im a little sore and a lot gassy....but things seem to be fine. Im walking alot and trying to drink....

The weird thing is...my stomach keeps growling? It that gas or is my body adjusting?? :grouphug:

*laughs* When I first saw myself in the mirror after surgery, I swear I looked 9 months preggers. It's the swelling and gas. Don't worry, it will go down soon.

Grats on getting banded! Are you home already? Quick trip and sounds like a fairly easy recovery! I'm happy for ya. :grouphug:

Congratulations on getting your band, it sounds like everything went very smoothly for you. I know my stomach made so many weird noises those first few days after my surgery, I think my family was a little afraid. And they should have been, because it was gas, lol.

My tummy was growling too. It can be gas. Or keep in mind that in a way you have 2 stomachs now and the gas has to pass between both of them before getting where it is going. I also had a lot of hunger pangs after my surgery. Oh, and congrats!

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
