Hi! Sounds like you are doing wonderful. :thumbup: My date is getting closer and I'm getting very anxious. Can't sleep at night worrying and thinking about questions. Keep up the good work.

Congrats! I was banded the same day. So far I am doing well, too. Had to get some antibiotics for a fever and still have some of the pain - but overall doing well. Bless you!

I had my surgery Sept 11th. I feel that I am doing fairly well but I do have some questions. My left shoulder really hurts and I have been taking the Gas-X strips. I was told that it was from the trapped gas. Any tips? Also, I am not sure if I should be resting so the sutures can heal or if I should be up walking around and not resting. Please help!

Hi, my left shoulder has been hurting to i wasn't quite sure how to handle it. but warm compresses seemed to help. It has now pretty much gone away it hurts every once and awhile. About the walking my Dr. told me to start walking as soon as i can it is also supposed to help with all the gas to get it moving around. Don't over do yourself but do move around. good luck with your Journey.
