hey everyone, my name is liz, and i just had lapbanding on monday.

the past few days were tough, and very painfull. i wasnt prepared to be in so much pain. i am still sore and my abs are weak, and i am still having gas pains!!! ahhhahahhh. but today seems to be better, hopefully it will all be up hill from here!:w00t:

Hey there.. first off congrats on getting banded. The gas pain goes away I lived on gas x strips for the first week. It is amazing how much gas can hurt! You have taken the first step to a new you! I have kept a little journal of this process and it is so energizing to look back and see how much I have changed just not physically. God Bless.

Hi there,

I had my surgery on Monday too. I have to agree with you, I had no idea that the gas pain would be so bad.

Today does seem to be a little better though, thank goodness!

Just wanted to say hi.

Good luck to you! HOpe we are both pain-free very soon!

Hi, Nice to have you. Good luck on your surgery Monday

Hello, I had my surgery on monday as well, I have gas, stomach pain, bloating and I am also very sore, sometimes I am bent over until i walk for a while. I am not having any problems with getting some of the liquids in but I am not able to drink all that is required. Also I have not had a bowel movement either. I heard all of this gets better in another week or so... Hang in there, just wanted to say I have the same issues... Gigi:drool:

hi, welcome to LBT. try walking for the gas pain. best of luck to you.
