, I decided on the lap band because within the past 3-4 years i have gained so much weight that i now have been diagnosed with diabetes ( i also have PCOS). I cannot seem to lose the weight on my own after so many attempts. I had my surgery on 10/11/10. I've been home since being discharged from the hospital stay. I am currently experiencing painful gas and swelling in my tummy. Nothing unbearable just so tired of beng uncomfortable, which at times has made me ask myself the question..."what did i do to myself?" I am down about 10 pounds but so miserable these days!
