Never in my life did i think that this whole Lap Band thing would be so bad........ it sucks! i have never been in so much pain and discomfort, but i am trying to find the positive in this but it is just so hard. i hope it works as well as they say today is 6/8/11 and it has only been 7 days since my surgery and i still have the worst GAS pain ever. in the back of my mind i kind of wish i would have never got this done......PLEASE HELP! anyone with tips or advice please let me know because i need help all i want to do is cry.

Well let me start off with congrats on ur surgery i am 7 days post op and i still have bad gas pain but i did find that Gas X strips work well.... you should try them and also a heating pad on you back and sholders should help greatly. you will be hungry 7 days in and i am still hungry. just make sure you stay on top of your protein because that helps to keep you full and without it you will feel realy bad... i wish you the best on your jurney and we r all here to help.

Thank you for that i do have the gas x strips and a heating pad and they both do help alot...... i called my dr and he told me to get childrens tylenol...... yeah right im 300lbs and that crap dose nothing....the pain is the worst at night b4 bed and i just cant get comfortable enough to sleep i find my self still up at 4 AM i just dont know what to do
