  7. Hello everyone, I had the lap band surgery 7/5/12. I am experiencing extreme gas throughout my chest, feels like its swollowing my heart sometimes. My back has been in alot of pain as well, maybe because I'm not able to sleep normally? Anyway I'm just curious to how long it took post op for YOUR gas to ease up though I know we are all different. Thanks!

  9. Is there such thing as a lapband restaurant card? Seems like I read somewhere about a card given post op for us bandsters to be able to take to any restaurant and order off the child's menu without paying the adult price as long as we show the card..? Just curious if anyone has heard of this it happened to have one.. Banded 7/5/2012

    Lapband Restaurant Card

    So I just got back from my doctor and received the formation to sign up for one. It also works as a medical card I guess you could say.. In case something happened somewhere it would be with our person identification cards. Very cool Banded 7/5/2012
  12. Great point! I hadn't thought of that.. Now I'm curious lol Banded 7/5/2012

  15. Maybe I was still pretty groggy, but after my surgery when I had to do the barium swallow, I asked my surgeon if he put anything in my band, I'm pretty sure I heard 4ccs.. CAN THAT BE RIGHT❔❔❔❔
