Newbie from Northern, NJ

Hello my name is Susie and I live in New Jersey. I just had the lap band done on 08/14, and doing really well except for gas. Going on vacation on Saturday (bad timing) and worried about what to expect.

Any advise.

Glad I found this site. :smile2:

Hi Susie!

My name is Susie as well and welcome to LBT!

I was banded 07/03 and the gas was there for about 4 weeks. My advice is to keep PLENTY of the gas-x stips on hand! I would stock up and take a few boxes with you. Those really did save my life especially the first few weeks!!

Good luck to you and have a nice vacation!
