Good luck tomorrow! I'm having mine tomorrow also but I don't ave to be at the hospital until noon. I'm going to try to stay up late so I sleep late. No coffee tomorrow is going to be tough. I'm going to need it to keep me calm. I'm so nervous and excited all at the same time.

There are a couple of us on here that are having our surgeries tomorrow. Yay us!!!

Hi! My husband and I were banded on Monday the 19th - 3 days ago. When they do the surgery they blow up your stomach with co2 and I actually found that the gas pain after the surgery was more significant that the pain from the incisions. Our nurses said that we can use GasX to help move that along but we still have to walk it out.

I've taken 4 or 5 GasX pills in the past three days and I've been walking a lot. That's the only way to get it moving out of your system.

i had very little gas and the drugstore was out of gas x strips so i bought little gas x pills, they worked fine for me. the one thing i wish id had after surgery through the first day was Lifesavers! i had the worst cottonmouth after surgery, all day! i couldnt get ice chips down fast enough in recovery, or drink enough propel at home. it took several hours for my mouth to start producing saliva. get yourself some lifesavers!!

      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.
