Hello ladies. I also had the Iband surgery ( imbricated lap band ) my surgery was July 12th and I am almost 7 weeks post op. I can relate to a lot of what you all have discussed????i.e. Gas pain, constipation. But I never was nauseous! Thank goodness. But I am hungry!! In 6 weeks I am down 23 pounds. I have not had my band filled, but may have to ask my dr. for a fill. Anyway, no complications for me, I am now super comfy and back to normal, I exercise also. So... I think that as long as 2 pounds a week are coming off, I will get about 80 pounds off who knows. Slow and steady is what is happening here. I hope you all are recovering well. And would love to stay in touch, I don't know anyone who has had this surgery.
