I was banded March 26 my incisions are healing nice with the most tender around port site. I am telling you the gas pains are the worst, ive been using gas x and ice chips popcycles, Jello, broth...the protine makes me feel nauseaed. I want so bad to heal up and get on the road to loosing this weight, once and for all. I go back for followup on monday. Any advice for the new kid on the block

Also I was wondering if anybody has been constipated from pain meds? Can we take a laxitive.

I was banded on the 23rd. My Dr. gave me the ok to take phazyme. It is a stronger soft gel for gas. That & walking has helped me the most!

I agree....I want so badly to get clearance from the Dr. so I can start exercising! I'm ready! Good luck!

eating all the extra Protein has definetly blocked my intestines more, which for me is a good thing as i was having digestive problems before, ( too loose)
