hey there showmepat, i had my lapband done wed 11/19...i slept in a recliner and walked as much as i could, i would hold the under of my belly b/c just the pulling was hurting...walking helped with the gas A LOT...i am 5days out(12lbs down) and get to start and eat mushies thanksgiving evening...if your do take the painkillers they give you MAKE sure you take laxative EVERYDAY and maybe even get prune/apricot juice b/c they bind you up something TERRIBLE!! and i was very uncomfortable up until last night...when i had to do it the painful supository way...i wish i was more prepared how my body would react! GOOD LUCK TOMORROW and i am a single mom of a 9yo she was a huge help...kids will surprise you!!! Renee♥
