:lol:I got it and the Barix clinic staff was wonderful in Columbus OH I feel ok, Just a lot of gas right now and very sore trying to sip sip sip if any comments or suggestions please let me know?

:thumbup:Congratulations on your band and good luck to you with everything. I started my liquid diet today and will be banded on the 27th.

Good luck on your journey!

I was banded on May 20th. This is my first visit to this site. I can tell you one thing that really helped me with the gas was having my husband (or anyone) pat on my back like a baby. It helped in breaking up the gas in your body. It helped me.
