I everybody! I live in Las Vegas, and I got banded on May 20th. =)

The first couple of days were a bit hairy, but I actually feel really good now a few days out. Boy, all that gas they use to inflate you sure feels weird/bad, huh? LOL

Thanks for all the suggestions and tips, it's so great to read everything!

Veresk,

Let me be the first to say Congratulations on your new band life. I can tell your spirits are high and that you are feeling pretty good. I go in for surgery in 2 days and pray that I have the same wonderful attitude as you. Again, congratulations!!!!!!

Congats!!!!! Hope all goes well for you. I heard the gas was the worst part. But I am dreading the liquid diet the most Keep us posted on your sucess.

Welcome to bandland! Walking and sipping Water as much as possible helps the most. It gets better with each day!

Congrats on your surgery!

Hello, Another May 20th bandster here. Glad to hear everyone is doing good. I am doing great today also. This forum really helped me to know what to do after surgery with the gas and port pains. Believe me, I have read it here a thousand times, and it does get better each and every day. congratulations on your band.
