my surgery was wed. july7, 2010. three days ago. right now i am wondering why i did this. the incisions are healing well - still a bit sore but other than that ok. but the gas build up is painful. not sure if i have an obstruction, if my band is too tight or it is all gas. it is a dull pain in the middle of my chest. i am lso nauseated. i really want to chew something. i am looking forward to week 3. i go for my one week check on 7/14/10. hopefully i will feel better after i leave.

Welcome to Bandster Hell...believe me it DOES get better than this!!! Just give it time. The more you can walk the quicker the gas will leave. The pain in the middle of your chest..that is actually where the band band has been install and is trying to adjust to being inside your body. This is the healing time where you are very swollen and the band is adjusting...this equals discomfort! Are you able to have sugar free popsicles? You can sort of bite them.. I wish you the very best on your journey..just hang in there it WILL get better trust me!
