Good luck! As the others said, walk walk walk and sip sip sip your Water. Having Gas-X near by never hurts either! Congrats on your surgery.

Congratulations!!! I was banded yesterday and the 2 things i found helpful so far was 1) keeping ahead of the pain by taking the pain medicine on a regular schedule (for me it was every 3-4 hrs) and 2) walk and then walk somemore . . i started with five min every hour and by the end of the day i did an 18 min walk (slowly). it really helped a lot with the gas and getting more limber. Let us know how you feel. Best of luck!!!
