It's the day after my surgery. Still have some gas going on. Nothing major. I've been doing alot of walking to help with the gas. I haven't really been resting well. A nap here and there. I haven't had much to drink. 1/2 protein drink, some hot tea and couple of sips of broth. I have to keep telling myself, quit stripping bucket naked getting on the scale. Not much has changed since surgery, as far a weight lost. Maybe a 3 pound gain. I know that's left over fluids from the IV.

Hi there, I was banded on Wednesday. The gas pain! OMG! I found that walking really helps. I also had a hernia that I knew nothing about up until yesterday. I wonder what's the cause of that. Did your Doctor tell you?

Gas Ex strips are my best friend right now. I was banded on yesterday 10.22. The gas was horrible right after my surgery. I felt like I couldn't breath. Walking really does help!!! I came home after surgery, slept a little while. Then began walking in my home like I was in a marathon..They could have kept the gas..

I also had hiatal hernia. Which was removed or repair during my banding. I really didn't know I had it up until I had the LapBand procedure. Congrats to you on your weight lost. I plan to be there soon. Taking it one day at a time.

Just doing a quick drop in with an update. Today I had my surgery. All in all everything went well. The only problem I encountered were the GAS PAINS:eek:.OMG! BUT! I will not complian. God has really been GOOD TO ME! I've walked my house like I was at an 8 mile track. The Doctor and Nurses said walking really helps. Be back tomorrow with more updates.

Hi Everybody! I'm an October Bandster. I am scheduled for surgery tomorrow @ 11:30. Yeah Babee! :grouphug: I pray that everyone does well. The start of a new!

Hello All, Tomorrow, it will be official. I will be part of the world of Lap Banders. This has been a year long journey, mostly on my part. I got my approval in May, but I kept delaying my pre op visit. So, now I'm finally doing it..WOW! If someone would have told me, some years back, that I would be having an elective surgery. I would have told them..LIES! I don't do doctors like that. Where I would volunteer to go to one. NOT! I've always been good at dieting and losing weight. But, I was much better at gaining most of it back...lol.. Guess, you can say I'm tired of the yo yo dieting. So, here I am. I think I'm past that stage of being terrified, my fears have now turn into excitement. Along with my daily prayers, this site has been such a good "calm me down tool". OMG! Yesterday, I was a mess. It seem like when the Nurse called to give me my surgery time. I went into this panic mode. I cried something serious. :biggrin: I'm okay now. :smile: God has worked it out. I'm looking forward to making new friends. Toodles Ladies and Gents :eek:

Okay, here it is. 24 hours before my surgery. Well, not quit 24. I'm kinda excited. I went out looking for something cute to wear to hospital. Then, I thought about it..Oh snap! It's not a necessity that I buy something new, because soon I won't be able to fit it. How ya like me now?! :tt2: I'm confident that everything will be okay. I'm just having some reservations about the anastesia (sp). :confused: I just can't phantom being put to sleep. JUST LIKE THAT, I'M OUT. Oh my! Lord, I know you are going to meet there right? You brought me to it, so I know you'll bring me through it. No complications! I declare it now. I'll be back tomorrow with updates. Toodles!

Hello there! OMG! I've finally found someone that's getting banded with me. I'm getting banded tomorrow also. I haven't told anybody but the Hubby. My family is use to me losing weight, then gaining and losing again. I will be going BACK to gym next week. I've been a sponsor of 24 Fitness for the last 3 months. I joined back in March and went long enough to lose some weight for a cruise I was going on. I haven't been back since then. Isn't that bad?..lol. That's okay, I'm going to get it going come next week.

This issue right here is my problem as we speak. I am scheduled for surgery Wednesday Oct 22nd. I HAVE NOT LOST ONE POUND! I don't know if this is all in my mind or not. But I feel as though I wanna eat all I can before the surgery. Has anyone else felt this way? I haven't gained, nor have I lost. The information that I received during my pre op visit stated, that patients are expected to lose a "SIGNIFICANT" amount of weight. W I T H is considered a significant amount of weight? I think may call to reschedule
