RAS_STI 1 Posted May 7, 2008 nice. i was where both of you are at 2 days ago. my band got put in yesterday @ 6am. everything went well, i never felt anything during or shortly after the procedure. i will say, be prepared for the gas pains. if i'm chillin in my chair not moving, it's ok. but i walked today for 30+ minutes. and i was in a lot of pain. it felt like the feeling you have when you have bronchitis (you know when you cough). but it feels like that all the time. pain meds help, but don't knock out the pain. i guess its only a few days of the gas pain. walk alot. you'll both be fine!!!

msstant 0 Posted May 7, 2008 My husband had a lot of pain for a week after surgery in his shoulder from the gas they use to blow you up. As soon as he started taking the tums it went away. Good luck with the surgeries. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
tweety63 0 Posted May 7, 2008 The best of luck to the both of you. I will be hear before you know it. I won't lie expect some pain and discomfort. I will say this, it goes away pretty quickly. Take your pain meds. I was banded on fri April 11,08 I'm so happy with my decision so far. My weight loss thus far is 23lbs. just do what the doctor tells you to do and you'll be fine.
