It does Sandie.

Are you taking GasX?

Also I posted in the thread called "I hope I'm not in trouble" of one way that really helped me get rid of that gas.

Each day it's better and better.

I was banded 8/5/05 and I have been lucky to heal pretty well but still had those darned gas pains!

Just wanted to wish everyone good luck. I know your scared and nervous because I was and I believe everyone who has the band knows what your going thru. I'm very new at this was just banded on 8-8-05, but if I can help please just ask.

Nickie456,

I have a ? for you. What is Monterrey like? We leave early Tue. morning, I am assuming that it is very hot there. Did you get a wheel chair at the airport, and if so what was that like? I am embarrassed about getting an extension on the plane, not sure I will need one, but may. Anything you can tell me about it would be great.

Thanks, and glad you are doing so well.

Shelley

I had my surgery on Thursday afternoon (August 11th). I had a couple of date changes 1st was my schedule and then the Doctor's, but I am banded now. You guys who are later in August don't worry to much the whole process was very easy.

Best wishes.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
