Was just banded yesterday (the 17th) and i'm already having stomach growls from hunger! Whats that all about!? I keep being told that I wont be hungry for a while!

On the bright side though, the surgery went well, so far no gas pains, i'm out and about, and barely feeling nauseous! woohoo!!

Definitely don't feel the band either. In fact if I didn't feel the port I would wonder if my doc pulled a fast one on me :P

my stomach is making all kinds of noise(day5 post op) but I'm not hungry it is the gas moving around in my stomach.

Congratulations on being banded, it's great that you don't have any gas pains. I look forward to joining you on the other side in 9 days.

I'm glad you are feeling better, the gas seems to be the most common problem judging by everyone's posts, was there anything in particular you found useful to shift it?

I am so ready for it, I hate to say But it's all I can think about. I'm not scared as I believe there's a bigger plan and it's already mapped out anyway. I'm keeping myself as busy as I can in the hope that the days will go quicker. 9 days but who's counting!!

I guess the biggest thing I learned was to keepsomething in my stomach I would get rid of all the gas and would be so happy then I wasn't eating & my stomach would feel up with gas again now I eat at least 1oz of food every 15min(my protien shake or soupy cream of wheat) and no more gas now

How's everyone doing?? I am having a hard time getting everything in (protien/water). I feel super full all the time. I never thought those words would come out of my mouth! LOL! I'm only 4 days post op so I am just taking it day to day and allowing myself to heal before I worry about it too much. If I still feel the same next week I'll call my Dr. Maybe the band is too tight?! I hope everyone is having a good day!!

Did u have any fill when the pit it in? Mine Ed Putin empty, but I'm not even interested in food. Judy wanna get rid of my soreness & a little gas left:)

      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.

      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.
