smbonier 26 Posted October 11, 2012 Well it's all over!! Banded this morning and feeling okay. The most pain I'm having is the gas pain and some minor abdominal discomfort.I am able to get up and pee and get back down on my own; but slowly. Biggest thing I was nervous about was taking my night medications because my doctor told me they were small enough to not crush; but I trust him. Now to continue burping to help with the gas and stay hydrated!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

pam_panzer 0 Posted October 11, 2012 Congratulations,, I am happy for you.. I am going to follow your posts as I am going for lapband on Monday and am pretty excited and a little scared to. I was told that the gas is not the best feeling, and like you I was going to ask my doctor about my pills as I would be scared to take them. Let me know how you do with your pills.

smbonier 26 Posted October 11, 2012 The pills were okay. Don't think anything got stuck: and they would disintegrate if they did. I am feeling more pain now since I've been getting up and down but I'm assuming that's normal with the increased movement. Still hard to get up from reclining in the chair; but getting better.

Rojasanoll 920 Posted October 11, 2012 Drink lots of Water but SIP it. SF popsicles the next day. Walk lots for the gas and a heating pad on back for the gas as well. Congratulations and Best Wishes Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
