I was sleeved on 9/22/10 and this Wednesday will be my 6 weeks annerversry. I started out looking at doing the Lapband back in April, but in early Sept. I changed my mind. Never experinced allot of pain, but yes the Gas pain is not fun but only last a few days after surgery. Used allot of Gas X Strips, they helped.

I'm a cyclist and love doing charity rides, this weekend did a 46 miler and let me tell you what a difference from cycling at 270 lbs to cycling at 221 lbs. Feeling great, have to remind myself to eat sometimes, taking in 70 grams of protien and taking my Vitamins.
So far so good for me..
