How long ago was that? What is it now?

What is your temperature? If its over 101.1 I would monitor it for a few hours then call your doctor or go to the ER. Hope you feel better.

Was your Powerade red? My Dr. had me on clear liquids only. I couldn't even have Egg Drop Soup they said that's not clear. Hope u r better soon.

Heyyyyy!

Ok I had planned on getting my boobies lifted after Lap Band Surgery sometime in December since I met my insurance deductible but after all this gas pain I've had since surgery. NO THANK YOU! I don't want another surgery NO time soon. Nope.

Hi & welcome to your new home.

I was trying to be slick. Lol I had been pre approved for the reduction. Once I've lost all the weight I am quite sure my insurance co won't pay for it. Welp that's what I get.

Congrats G.I.! So glad to hear that every thing went well. Wow you worked very had with your preop diet and lost a lot! Rest easy and I wish you a speedy recovery.

Ooh ouch!

Oh no!

I wanna take this band out and choke the hell out of my husband. Did he really just come in here with a plate of food? I haven't eaten in 8 days. #rude

All of you just made me lol! He had been doing great by eating downstairs but he somehow just lost his mind.

Day 6 post op and I am still sore in the port area as well. But its not bad at all. But the gas is still a huge proble. I have loss 13 lbs.

Ok I have had enough with all this damn gas!!!! This is day 4 post & this is getting ridiculous!!! I am starting to wonder if the doctor forgot to remove some of the gas. Geeeezzz mcgeezzz. I am miserible. Seems like tdy is worst than ystsy. I am doing everything I am supposed to do I.e. walking, staying hydrated, heating pad. But gosh is this payback or something???

Okayyyy its dsys 6 AND I STILL HAVE GAS!!! I can fill up my gas tank.

Post op day 6 And Gas is Still A Big Problem!!!! Gosh...did the dr. forget to take some of the gas out of me? I watched a Lap Band surgery online and I saw the dr pump in the gas then suck it back out. I know u can't get all of it out by damn, really??? This is terrible. But hey, at least I am not hungry and I have loss 13 lbs since surgery 6 days ago.

Day 4 and gas pains are still killing me. Lot of unproductive burps & I noticed that my bladder doesn't give me the signal that I need to urinate. Could this be due to gas? Has anyone else had this problem?

This was such a great question to post. I actually learned a few things. My best friend has been the heating pad. It really helped soothe my back pain from the gas. I got Propel Zero because it has Vitamins & electrolytes and it tastes great especially the grape. sugar-free Popsicles are great. I have sugar-free Jello but my new belly wasn't quite ready for the jello yet. Good luck on your surgery and keep us posted on your progress.

Good Luck! the best advice I have for you after surgery is to get a heating pad and walk, walk, walk to move that gas out.

I wish I could lay on my left side but my port is over there. I tried that and Boy oh boy that was a big no-no.

I was told that Gasx. I almost took a GasX strip but it was peppermint flavored. Nurse said dnt eat peppermints but the gas pain felt like pressure about to blow straight thru my back. The gas has moved to my abdomen and this is more torture. I have found that a heating pad and frequent back massages helped along with walking.

Got banded ystdy and I have been in excruciating pain since i woke up from surgery from the gas especially in my back. I have a nausea patch behind my ear so no nausea at all. My incisions are ok but the port area is a little sore. But I am still miserable. The heating pad is helping my back pain. And frequent back massages from my hubby, mom, & d on helps a little. I have probably walked a mile up & down my hallway trying to get rid of it. I signed up for Lap Band not gas. #miserable

How much weight did you lose during the first two weeks after surgery? Not including the weight you lost during preop.
