Banded on the 20th, doing great no nausea, only pain is in my left shoulder and neck. Stayed over night in hospital, they gave nausea meds around the clock, for prevention, I felt it was worth it no to be nauseated. Very little pain and down over 10 lbs.. Made veg/beef Soup yesterday, tired on canned soup it was great.

I didn't have any nausea either, but I have that same pain and in the same location-left shoulder and neck. Almost like muscle spasms. What's that about? Is this normal?:confused2:

[amsderb 1]

Sorry about your pain....I'm sure I will KNOW how you feel soon enough...as in next weekend!

I think it is normal based on the posts I've read and what the doc told me...gas tying to get out....Try a heating pad!

[KikiVal315 4]

gas pain totally normal!!! i have it too!! i promise it will slowly but surely go away yes, the heating pad works wonders and also try to walk around, that helps me.

Hey everyone! Got back from vacation yesterday, this liquid diet is pretty brutal and vacation was not that easy, buut I'm looking at the end result, only two days until surgery!!!!!!! I can't believe it came so fast! Even though at times it felt like an eternity! Congrats to everyone who is already banded! So glad that for the most part, besides some gas pains everyone seems to be doing well! Good luck to jess and amsderb and everyone else with dates coming up today and tomorrow and so on... I'm so ready for this :smile2:

[amsderb 1]

Allison...I am with you on that...give me the night night happy drugs and see you later! My surgery is at 12:30 so it will be a long morning....Good Luck!

[Allison 2]

Yeah mine is at 10 am, I have to get there at 8 am, the nurse I met with at my pre-op visit to the hospital said they could give me a "happy pill" as soon as I get there. I am holding them to their word hahaha. I have to stay overnight so its gonna be a long day laying around in the hospital, but I'm sure I'll be so out of it I won't even notice haha, and my mom and my best friend are going to come with me, Good luck to you too!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I'll see you on the other side :smile2: !!

[amsderb 1]

Hey you all,

No complaints except I am thirsty right now......Well, her I go!

TTFN Shelley

[KikiVal315 4]

best of luck ams; see you on the other side!

[Bizzy Bee 1]

Good luck Allison and Shelley. Things were way better than I or my husband expected. Today we went shopping at a mall in San Antonio and then to TWO movies! We saw What happens in Vegas, and Indi. I liked Vegas better but Indie wasn't too bad. I felt GREAT all day. No gas, minimal pain. I just absolutly can't believe it.

Prayers to all getting banded. Hugs to EVERYONE!
