I just got banded on April 30th. I was so scared but i had Dr. Kelly and I was at Memorial Hospital, they were all great. I did very well, no nausea at all. Tolerated broth and shake before leaving. Second day was rough, very achy and sore. Anyone experience the gas, that is horrible, thank god for GasX, my new best friend. Also starting to feel a little tight in the abdomen, is this normal? A little nervous when I get to incorporate real food though. Please any thoughts from anyone.

Just want some input.

Congrats on being a new bandster! Looks like everything is going for you as it does for others!

I was banded 4/17 and the first week was the worst. The tightness in the stomach is due to swelling and the gas they they inflate you with. It will go away.
