Had been considering bariatric surgery for about 4 years, before finally committing to it.  I decided I wasn't getting any younger, and my joints were beginning to hurt, and knew it wasn't going to get any better if I didn't do something about my weight.   I didn't want to leave this world as a fat person. I wanted to be able to be active in my "golden years."Had talked to people who had gastric by-pass, and considered that too drastic.....knew somone who had lap band, and discussed it with her.....decided that was the better route for me.  I am only 6 days post-surgery, and am having some difficulty with gas, and constipation.  Not able to eat as much on my full liquid diet as I should.  Last night tried apple juice mixed with water, and suffered all night with gas pains......Threw out the apple juice this morning.  Today has  been a bit better, but still have gas.
