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!!!

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.
