Hello all. I was banded 4 days ago. The surgery went well, I stayed overnight. When I came home I was very stiff and sore, felt like someone had been kicking me the gut all night. I did not get the gas pains until the next day.I've read about these gas pains and figured it can't be that bad. LORD HAVE MERCY:eek:, please forgive me for ever thinking that. I'm 4 days out and they are still kicking my butt. The pains are in my stomach and in my chest. It hurts to take a deep breath and it sounds like someone is having a house party in my stomach. I've been walking around the house, I've walked outside, gas-x and phayzyme(which seems to work the best). One thing is I figured I'd be starving by now, but I have no appetite at all, I guess I'm so full of air there's no room to be hungry. I have to force myself to drink water and some broth throughout the day. But all in all I'm happy to have this done, I'm down a few pounds since the beginning of my journey and I can't wait for the brand new me.

Grats!

I was banded 4 days ago as well!

I hope your gas pains get better!

Congratulations! I hope you get to feeling better soon.

I was banded 3 days ago. I haven't had a lot of gas pain but my stomach constantly rumbles and makes lots of noises. I hope you feel better soon.

Welcome to Bandland

i wish i could say i have no apetite like you!!

i've been starving but i think half of it is cos i'm bored sitting around 'recovering' it makes the day seem so long.
