Banded 7/10

[aggiemaggie 26]

Hi everyone! I was banded at NYU on Wednesday. Feeling pretty good just some pain at the incision sites and some gas pain. Anyone have any remedies that can help with some of the gas pain? Also I have been trying to drink but I fell like I am so full after 2 sips of a Protein Shake. Is this normal?

walking as much as you can helps relieve the gas. Also if you have a heating pad use it. doing both of those things helped me get rid of the gas. It took about 5 days for the gas to leave me but everyone is different.

There is a lot of swelling right now, which is why you may only take a couple of sips and get full. I think I had a goal of 4 oz per hour in order to stay hydrated. It should get better each day. As far as the gas pains, walk, walk and more walking will ultimately help with that. The heating pad and some gas x has helped others as well. Congratulations on beginning your journey!
