Hey there yall, I had my surgery this morning. I am doing pretty good. The gas pains are hurting pretty bad. When I get up and walk around and put my hands in the air I feel better and then I will sit up for a little bit and it is fine. When I lay down is when it hurts. But other than that I feel ok. On clear liquids for 3 days and then start full liquids again for a week or so. I know this is a really good thing that I did even though what I went thru to get it. Good Luck to everyone that has had it and I know I started a new life today! :juggle:

I am feeling better. The wounds are not even really hurting. It is the gas pain but I will make it thru. Thanks for the encouraging words

Momwifelove,

Walk walk walk is the best thing for that gas. It is aggravating I know but it helps. I made countless trips through my kitchen, dining room and living room and back.

Congratulations on your surgery! :crying:

Definitely walk around as much as possible -- it's a big help! Congratulations on getting banded!

If you haven't done it yet, be sure to take your measurements and take a few full length photos as soon as possible. It feels so good as you are losing to be able to look back and see how far you have come! :crying:

Best wishes,

Catherine

I took a teaspoon of vinegar for the gas. It worked!

the gas pains are what's hurting, most of the gas pains are below the incisions mostly, I feel like I got burt but can't and I also need to go #2 but can't either and I know I'd feel 10 times better. Sometimes it hurts to take deep breaths but other than that I feel ok it's ok when I walk just hurts when getting up and I feel a little warm and just alittle uncomfortable ): can't wait for it to go away

Welcome to lapbandland momwifelove.....hope you get back on your feet soon.
