lace 0 Posted February 23, 2010 I do not have a date yet but my last visit will be March 26 so Dr. thinks it will be sometime in April. I am really scared about the gas pains I've heard about and the hunger right after surgury. Any ideas? Any Advice? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I am really scared about the gas pains I've heard about and the hunger right after surgury. Any ideas? Any Advice? Lace, everything I have read says to walk, walk, walk, and walk some more for the gas. They also recommend gas x strips. For the hunger it seems be that you want to kep hydrated and eat lots of protien. They recommend protien first, then veggies, then if theirs room some carbs. Research on this site, there is tons of information! Good luck, Wayno:thumbup: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
montynic 1 Posted February 24, 2010 My surgery was supposed to be in March, but through matters beyond my control, it ended up getting scheduled in April. I am so excited! I can hardly wait! It feels like this process has taken forever, even though it has only been since January... of course, I have very little patience :wink: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I also started the whole process in January. I found it's hard to find patience. But April is coming up! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

mamasugar 0 Posted February 26, 2010 This is turning out to be the best year ever. By the Grace of God, my job is tranferring me to Huntsville, Al in the summer (where my family is). I get a huge raise in March. I have a surgery date for April 2nd for my LAP-BAND®. My hubby, finally got an interview date for his immigration status in March. We are buying our first home in the the next few months in Huntsville. I am just counting my blessings and I feel God has been great to my family and I. Hopefully, I will be able to get in shape, look sexy, get off my BP meds and enjoy life. Thanks for allowing me to share this with u guys. GO BANDSTER BUNNIES !!!:eek: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
