Day 3 out of surgery, does anybody else have trouble burping. I can't seem to. I've used gas x and it helps a lot. I can't believe I'm saying this but I would love to burp. What a dumb issue to have.

The day of and after surgery people would kill to fart. Days two and three and maybe a little longer and you want to burp. ;o)

It's the stoma swelling, we all go through it.

Welcome newbie!!!

I have just started the wheels in motion to have lap band. I live in NE Mesa, and went and met with Dr Chen at Banner Gateway last week, and start my "6 months." I am looking forward to following everyone's progress!

Not that I'm SO FAR ahead of her, but I have to TOTALLY agree!!! I looked at my husband on my second day home and said "I cannot believe I am saying this, but I would almost kill someone for the ability to have a REALLY GOOD fart!" UGH!!! The burping will come SOON.

Congrats! You'll have to join us for monthly lunches we bandsters have.

KittenQutie is going to take over the list. She's better at it than I am! ;o)

If you want to join us just send me your email address (PM) and I'll add you and anyone else that wants to join us. It's not a bad idea to get to know lots of banded folks in real time so when you have a question you can just pick up the phone and call. Especially after surgery you'll have lots of questions.

Welcome Redmtnwolf! I had my surgery done at Banner Gateway too. Great group of doctors and nurses. I had Dr. Schuster and love him. I'm sure you'll be very happy with the whole thing.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
