Just Got Banded & Feeling Great
almostbanded replied to almostbanded's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Good luck with your surgery tomorrow!! I had gas pain in stomach area and in my shoulder area as well. The stomach gas got better with walking and taking gasx and the shoulder gas went away when I used a heating pad on it overnite. A little soreness at the incision sites and soreness in my chest but with the help of some pain meds it feels a whole lot better which allows me to eat comfortably. Let us know how it goes for you tomorrow. -
Just Got Banded & Feeling Great

I got banded yesterday morning and I'm doing good so far. I have some gas but not too bad. Very little pain just a little sore. I was cleared to eat today, I had cream of wheat for breakfast and some soup for lunch. The food went down well but I got full quickly. -

I have Hip in NY, I went thru the six months already and clearances from many drs. My surgery is set for October 8th. Although I found out that they recently changed their guidelines from 6 month wait to 3 months. Of course now that I completed 6 months it would change. But it's good for future patients interested in WLS.

October 8th for me! Long Island, New York. 3rd day of liquid pre-op diet & starving! -
Yeah so am I. I hoping it will soon pass for both of us. People have posted that by day 5 it gets easier, we'll that's what I'm hoping for. I'm on edge just trying to focus on the end result. It's nice to be able to share the struggle with others who understand. I'm not getting much support from my family, it's discouraging but I have to think of myself.
