Hello Deco, as the girls have, said walking is so good after the surgery, it helps to dispurse the gas that they use to blow up your stomach with. You don't have to do a marathone just a gentel stroll don't forget you are recovering from surgery so take it easy !!! slow but sure. Hope your feeling well soon.

Good luck Debra, i hope all goes well.

Hi Tammy, welcome abord, good luck with your journey..:banana

Hi Kyleigh,i have only joined this site a little while ago,and i find reading things on hear realy is inspiring, i dont post much but i sure do have a good read.:banana :banana :banana ops sorry just love the dancing nana...lol

Hello Kim, as i'm sure you have found out the band is a very fickle thing, i was told before i was banded i would never feel full like befor, i find my "full" sign's are a runny nose, hicups, i have a Midband and i had very little ristriction as soon as the band was put in place,some have none until their first fill.:banana

Darcy, i alway find if i have the cramps in my stomach Hot drinks as hot as you can stand and little sips!. The gas from surgery does take a little while to leave the system, i hope you are feeling better, in any case though we are not DR and if you do get a lot of pain you must see your Doctor!.

Darn i'm Normal,obviously need more practise...lol :banana

Hi Kim welcome to the site , i only joined reacently but i have found it very addictive,and informative.

Ruth, my fill provider dose'nt use xray and she hit's the spot very well and painlesly, What surgon are you thiking of using? a mate of mine has been working on a ward in sydney that does lap bands. I Did not go a month without eating as my surgon wanted me to be eating within a week but i do have a midband and they are different. I hope this has helped a bit, regards

Go Girl, you are doing so well!!!
