Hi! Surgery was 6/29/09, 8 days ago. I felt really bloated for the first 5-6 days and got the hiccups a million times a day. I am having trouble with the strictly liquids, and am having trouble burping, so I feel gassy a lot. I expect things to settle down in the next week and go for my first follow up next Tuesday. I have lost about 15 pounds so far.
