THINGS I LEARNED

*walk out the gas

*sip slowly

*cold drinks made me feel uncomfortable for a few days

*remind yourself that you did this for your health and its the

best thing you ever decided to do.There will be times you question yourself and wonder what the he** was I thinking.

*read these posts as much as possible

GOOD LUCK TOMORROW

I was banded yesterday- so far, so good! Not much gas and virtually no pain. I hope yours goes as smoothly.

get gas x strips..that melt on ur tongue..and walk walk walk. surgery day was the easy part..i didnt feel anything..no pain the whole day from the meds. morning after..is when u feel it..i couldnt get out of bed it hurt so bad (i have a high bed). took me 10 painful minutes to get out. then for a few nights straight i slept on the couch which is lower and there were no problems. Take ur pain meds and walk walk walk..even when u dont want to..do it to get that gas out. good luck!! and congrats on ur surgery!! I rememeber the feeling of the night before..the excitement and anticipation..and nervousness..but it was the best thing i ever did!! Im excited for you and cant wait to read more on how things are going!! Take care
