I know that I am only 5 days out but I am just wonderding will there ever be a time when I just have the band and I not know that it is there? Most of my misery is from the Gas. I pray this will go away.

I do have a full feeling I drink about an ounce of liquids every 15 to 20 minutes. But I just want to know if I will ever just have my band and not have side effects from having my band? Will I ever feel as if I have no band at all? Except if I eat too much?

The doctor told me that when I feel that sort of pain...it is a reminder to either stop eating because it is either too much or too fast. I get that quite a bit because I still have trouble taking it slow.:thumbup:

Also I have been using that as an indicator to just stop the meal altogether, if I just relax, I will have felt the restriction. That is what I need to make me stop. Others have better will power than me.
