Hi everyone!!! I was told by my surgeon that this would be a good thing for me,the finding others who have the same life.

I was just discharged yesterday...how did you guys do it the first few days?

Congrats on your band...it was too bad the first few days, my gas wasnt that bad. If you can, plz. walk as much as you can..walk, walk and than walk...it helps

I was so happy to have the band that everything else was minor. No pain. I didn't mind having only Clear liquids. I was so happy! I still love it but things do settle down; once that "honeymoon" stage was over and I started getting REALLY hungry (I assume you mean hunger and not pain? ) I just stuck it out because it isn't for very long.

If you mean pain...walking walking walking helps you feel better faster, helps the gas dissipate, and helps keep your lungs clear and your circulation going so you don't run as much a risk for clots. That and liquid tylenol did me fine!
