How is your husband? I was banded on 8/3 also. I feel wonderful. No nausea, some gas pain (walk,walk,walk), little sore. So far so good -
Congrats! So how do you feel? Heating pad, hot tea will relieve gas pains, if you have them. I was banded on Monday 8/3. I feel wonderful! Let me know if I could help you in anyway!

You should be drinking liquids only? I was banded on 8/3. I have alot of gas also. Put heating pad on your back and on your abdomen. Drink hot tea and GasX. Vitamine's already??? Hope you feel better soon!

Bad surgery day stories
Nomorespandex replied to dedumplinz's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
My experience was great! Blood draw, IV painless.After surgery some pain, given meds right away. Had private room. The staff was excellent. I was treated like a queen! No gas pain, no nausea! My surgeon is wonderful. I would do it again! -
Pray for me that all goes well. So many emotions! Very nervous! :):sad::sleep::crying:

Congrats! Keep up the good work!

How come you went home same day? My doctor said I will be in hospital for 2 days. I have to get an upper GI the next day after surgery to make sure the band looks good and check for swelling.

Glad you feel better! Milk of magnesia, prune juice, miralax are great! Make sure you take it daily, so you don't have this problem again! -
Stomach Pains, 3 weeks post Op
Nomorespandex replied to Southern Charmer's topic in LAP-BAND Surgery Forums
Ask your doctor to give you a HIDA scan. It could be your gall bladder. I had those same symptoms. You could have gall bladder disease not stones. Sonagrams and blood work only tell you if you have stones. The HIDA scan will test how well your gall bladder is working and if it's under 25% they recommend you get it removed. Check it out! Keep me posted! -
I had gall bladder surgery on 1/5. I can not digest meat, eat fatty food. I can not drink while I'm eating. If the band work like this, I'm not sure if i will go thru with it!
But you will be fine! Just take one day at a time. Pray, Plan your work, work your plan!
