How many days did you have gas? Where did you get yours done? How was your experience?

Hey uptwist. I was banded at day one health downtown. i had the referred left shoulder gas pain for about two and a half weeks! UGH! gas x doesnt touch it cuz it's not in the stomach it left over in the abdominal cavity. i did finally get some relief from walking on the treadmill, but that didnt realy help my when i was sitting in church or at work.( excuse me pastor i know you're preaching but can i just take a quick jog around the sanctuary, i'll be right badk) ummmm yeah dont think that would have went over to well! LOL! feel free to add me as a friend and PM with any questions

I'm glad to know it's not just me then...I was banded on 6/17 in Delaware, but ended up in the ER with my doctor. He took some Fluid out of the band and loosened it up some--I had the worst heartburn in my life until then. It's gone down considerably, but I'm still fighting all that other gas. The worst part, I think, is now looking bigger than before--all that bloating has made me look about 12 months pregnant! I'd like to at lease SEE my progress :) Good luck, everyone!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
