Hi, I was just banded on 7/17 (this Monday) and the gas pain is killing me as well. I am not hungry, but it may be to soon to tell... The gas moves all over my belly and I can not get it out. I just called my surgeon and he recommended Mylicon drops and/or Glycerin suppositories. I hope it works.!!!!! Let me know how you do, I hope you get better as well.:faint:

:clap2: My insurance finaly approved my Lap Band Surgery. My surgery is scheduled for Monday, July 17th. I'm excited and scared to death at the same time. Lots of positive input needed!!!!! Wish me luck!!! :cheer2:

Ok, here I fixed my signarture too. Thanks for all the input. I'm doing my clear liquid, bowel prepping stuff today, for my surgery tomorrow. :tired

You can visit the Bariatric Center at Pioneer Valley Hospital. The physician is Dr. Hanafy Hanafy and their number is 801-840-9474. Their staff is very supportive. If anyone follows up with them, let me know how you liked or did not liked them. :gluck:

Let me know if you would like any of his info. Good luck!!! Keep me posted on your journey. :clap2:

My doctor is Dr. Hanafy at Pioneer Valley Bariatric Center at Pioneer Valley Hospital. I have researched and have gotten very positive feedback from patients and others. I have seen him twice during the presentation and then my eval appointment and he seems very up to date, informative, very caring and took for ever to answer all of my questions and concerns. Didn't make me feel like I was another $ in his pocket. I have my pre op appointment for the end of July. I have started with my pre op diet and exercise. I'm very excited and looking forward for the rest of my new life!!!!!

Hi, I'm new to all of this so please bare with me. I have started the process for the Lap Band and I will probably be having my surgery on July. The problem I'm having right now is that I'm so scared. I'm worried about everything and it is making me very very anxious. I would like to know about your experiences initially and if you have any good advice for me, I would greatly apreaciate it. :help:

:help: I'm having the lap band procedure in July and I'm scared to death!!! Please let me know your thoughts and definitely positive comments!!!! I will really appreciate it.

:help: I'm very excited today, since I just had my evaluation appointment for undergoing the Lap Band. Actually, I must say, a part of me is really excited and a part of me is scared. Being a nurse I can't help but think about complications, although the doctor did a great job explaining everything to me. I would still like to meet and talk to people that have had it done and know their experience. Please, if anyone has a minute or two, give me your input!! I would be so very grateful!!! :ranger:
