Newly banded, what is this feeling?

I was banded on Tuesday and had the same experience...still do a little, but I agree, walking helped better than any amount of gas x. Everytime I felt that way, I would walked until I belched like a man...lol. Than all was better...good luck!!! -
Thanks everyone!!! My surgery went very smoothly on the 8th. No problems at all. I actually had surgery at 8am and was discharged by 1030---that was crazy, but I was up and walking, peed and took my xray very quickly. There was once after I drank some juice that I thought I was gonna vomit, I went all pale they said, but I just belched like a man for like 5 minutes and felt soooooooooooo much better. The first night I did a lot of walking to relieve the gas pains. Yesterday was better, adn today I just feel a little sore. I got to eat some creamy soup and yogurt today---I was AMAZED at how little it took to FILL me up...I was stuffed with 1/2 cup soup, and 1/2 of the yogurt....thats great!!!!!!

good luck on the process...I hope all goes through quickly. I went to the meeting on March 31, turned my papers in the next week and had all my appts (Dr Schuster and Pysch eval by May 16) then they sent my papers into the Insurance adn that only took 2 weeks to get approved, but they didn't have a surgery date till July 8th.
