Do you ever get gas pain around your port?
chopperblue replied to spoiltmom's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I was banded on the 16th and yesterday I starting caughing and felt where the port was and it really hurt!!!! I almost felt like I ripped something but today was much better. At least now I know where it is. -
Happy Turkey Day to the newly banded!

Happy Thankgiving to you also, I was banded on the 16th, so all I had was a little bit of mashed potatoes and was satisified. ZChicken and dumplings does sound good!!! LOL -
Any other liquid proteins?
chopperblue replied to Jess55's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Hi Jess, i use CIB with Protein Powder and a frozen banana, that's really good and I also bought Protein H2O that's good, I also didn't like the Isopure. Good Luck -
I was banded on the 16th as well, my Dr. said don't use the gas x because it's not internal gas, it's just gas they pump into you and you need to walk alot, that's what I did and have not had any problems, I know every one is different I also used the heating pad a lot. Sorry i have no other suggestions, hope you feel better soon.

Thanks Happy!!! Everuthing went great!!! I feel good and as of today down 14lbs. So excited!!! Hope you had a great Thanksgiving.

My surgeon told me gas x does not work because the gas is pumped into you it's not gas in you intestins, so you just need to walk alot that's what I did and had no problems. Hope it gets better:)

Had surgery on the 17th..
chopperblue replied to lilly_louise's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I just had mine done Tues. I feel really good and didn't have hardley any pain, I walked alot so I haven't had the gas pains. But I do still feel a little hungry today, I have a little soup and that's good for a while, then I made a smoothy and that held me for a long time. Everyone is different and just need to experament a little. Good luck:) -

Walking is very important!!! I just got banded Tues. and I feel great,I didn't get the gas pains I heard so much about, I know everyone if different but the walking helps, everytime I felt a tiny bit of pain I walked around and it was gone. Good luck to your dad, he's lucky your there for him. -

One week away and extreme anxiety
chopperblue replied to CalicoskiesNC's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
My surgery is Tues, I'm very excited and scared at the same time. I have really bad asthma and when I had food surgery in May I stoped breathing as soon as they took out the breathing tube, but I told my surgeon that and he assured me that they would pay exta attention to that plus I wont be under as long. I just keep thiking how good were all goimng to look this time next year!!! Good Luck all Nov. Banners. -

chopperblue replied to caralaisure's topic in LAP-BAND Surgery Forums
First of all I have a daughter and we always call her Bugaboo. lol I think it's a great idea to have a few buddies. I'm getting banded on the 16th, i'm very excited and nervous. I didn't have to do the pre diet which makes it a little easier. Good luck to both of you, and lets keep in touch.
