He'll everyone,

I was banded yesterday and Praise God everything went well. I had to have hernia repair done also, but EVERYTHING WENT GREAT! I will be honest and say that I had the worst gas pain ever after I was awaken. I just didn't expect that, but I've been takin pain Meds and I'm MUCH better. The gas is from the air that's pumped into your abdomen during the surgery. It's not your normal gas...trust me it's not.... NOW, remember we are all different everything doesn't affect us all the same. I had my procedure about 15 hrs ago and I'm soooo much better. Pray, take your med, include gas-x and walk. I'm moving forward and very excited.... Sistercin

I also had my surgery yesterday. My only real bad time was when my cat started to step on my stomach and last night when I think I had a traveling gas bubble in my abdominal.

Congrats on getting your band.....I also had the gas and it took about 5 days to feel normal with no pain again. Walking was my key because the gas isn't intestinal for any meds.....it is just looking for a way out! LOL. I even named my gas bubble Gus......he finally left me alone!! LOL

Happy, pain free days ahead!!! :)

The gas pains get better with time. Congratulations on the surgery. Walk, walk, walk, and make sure you get your fluids in.

      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.
