Banded yesterday - 24th Feb

[November Lily 0]

Hi Guys,

I was banded yesterday and surprisingly feel quite well. My incisions dont hurt that much and I am getting lots of liquid down. Just a lot of gas pain, Ive been taking the advice of the forum and walking alot. Is there anything else I can do?

Im very excited about this journey and cant wait to start loosing and look fabulous.

Try GAS X for gas relief. Good luck!

congratulations! for gas pains--people have said that walking around as much as possible reduces them.

for me--i took painkiller until i was SURE i didn't need it any longer. i didn't deprive myself--and i slept alot--and healed. by the 4th day--i went outdoors, in freezing cold weather--to get my nails done-that was exhausting--but i managed it.

hope you have an easy recovery!

I am not banded yet, but I plan on following girlinnyc advice. Lots of pain meds. I had a lap surgery years ago and remember the "gas" setteling in my collar bones and whenever I turned my head "OUCH". I also plan on walking as much as possible.

Congratulation and the best of success.

Thanks Guys. Came out of hospital this morning and went for a walk this afternoon, that definitely helped.

Im amazed at how ok I actually feel. Gas and a bit of dizzyness is all really.

Girlinnyc, I have only taken one pain killer since I left the hospital for my shoulder pain. Ill definitely take some tonight though so I sleep all the way through.

The thing that is irritating me the most is how bloated I feel. I look about 9 months pregnant.

Hi Guys,

Thank you for the responses. Im feeling pretty good, still a little gas pain but nothing to cause too much discomfort.

Ive lost 4kgs which I am stoked about :clap2: - I hope I dont put it back on once I get off liquids.

How is everyone else doing?
