just got banded may 24 by DR NEPOMNAYSHY at LAHEY CLINIC in Burlington Ma I feel great, and walked a lot at the hospital but then the drugs wore off lots of gas pain in shoulders I have to keep moving but fealing good in general

Congrats! It's a great feeling to be over the hump with the surgery, isn't it? Best wishes on fast healing. You should feel pretty proud of yourself at this point for making it past the first hurdle!

Congratulations! Welcome to band land.

Hope all continues to go well for you.

Hi Bestarcher,

Congratulations on the big day! I hope you are feeling better and the gas pains are starting to subside. I’m in the process at Lahey, Burlington and if all goes well I’m hoping for a surgery date late July.

I really hope you had a good experience with them. Was there anything that you would have done differently? Did you like your surgeon? Any advice for a newbie?

I would love to hear all about your experience.

Best wishes for a quick recovery!

It's good to hear that you are doing so well!

I am waiting to hear back from my surgeon with a date. Looks like maybe mid June or early July. I'm getting banded at Beth Israel in Boston.

I know how you feel... tons of gas pains... in my sides, and shoulders... just don't feel myself yet. HOw long till they told you that you could have mushies? My surgery was the 21st... they said 4-6 days... I'm wondering if that's too soon.

my dr said 7 days untill stage 2 mushie .i feal good taking all my meds in the morning no peoblem getting 5 pills down so i could proberlyy do mushie and feal good ,but i choose to follow my dr advice and wait one week i have 47 years of eating my way now i will do what the dr orederd i got out today and walked 1/2 mile , 1 1/2 hour on the rider mover and took in a movie .i gald i brought jello & water to the movie becuse all i could smell is butter popcorn , i ate my jello and was satisfied

whoo-hoo... congrats on the beginning of your new life.
