  4. g'day dont worry it all gets better ive been banded for nearly 11 months now and the first 1-2 were the worst. Now i wouldnt look back, as far as the breathing goes I had a hard slog of it for a few days after surgery. But just before I went under the knife, a phisio visited me with some breathing excersies to do post surgery and explained that sometimes while fitting the band they have to partially collapse one of your lungs. wasnt I stoked with that idea:eek: . But I can assure you the breathing pain will pass really quickly, and before you know you will forget it ever happened. Best of luck. Matt.

    Drinking alcohol

    i'm a bloke that loves a drink and have found anything that isnt carbonated is fine. I have tried drinking fizzy drinks and it resulted in really intense shoulder pain. I quizzed the doc about it and he said it is a common problem after banding, gas gets trapped under your diaphragm. hope this is of some help.

    G'day everyone

    I stumbled across this site a few days ago, and have been checking it out everyday since. Well what can I say, I live in Tasmania, Australia and have been banded now for about 11 months with no worries so far. Of course i've learnt a few lessons along the way, especially how my body does'nt appreciate lot of gas, less beer:cry but a new found love for red wine:) . I am going along well with a start weight of 164 kg and a bmi of 49.9 to, now 132 kg and a bmi of 39. So the experince for me all round has been pretty good with no regrets with the decision to have the procedure and a new found addicition for the gym.I'm looking forward to catching up with fellow banders and sharing there take on things. c u later.
