Only liquids allowed for me post op

Yes, banded 5 days ago and I have to say gas gas gas from the surgery equals pain , shoulder and neck to jaw pain, but that is gone now thanks to Gas X. Remember everyone heals different and at their own rate. I think today is finally the day I feel normal and ready to move on and can do this!

Hello, new here! I was banded on Monday 5 days ago. I watched YouTube videos of post op patients and they all seemed so ok and no pain and that the surg was no big deal. So I went in thinking that, but I had so much gas pain in shoulders and neck up to the jaw. My doc didn't say I could take gas x but finally I had to take some when i was on day 4 and oh what a relief after that the following day. I guess everyone recipes from surgery differently, so just remember that to all the new patients after being banded. I would say that today is the first day I feel my closest to feeling back to the normal me.
