Cee 0 Posted April 6, 2009 (edited) I'm so happy for you. I know that all is going to go well. I was band 12/08 and I have not had any probrems. Remember that the band is just "A Tool", not a miricle worker, but I can tell you this, if you work with the band it will work for you. I've lost 54 pounds up til this date and I feel great. I can't even tell that the band is there, I'm very active. Well, tell we talk again, God Bless you and I'm excited about your future.

smallersmile 0 Posted April 7, 2009 Good Luck!!! I know how you are feeling. I was there two weeks ago. Expect some pain when you wake up, it's uncomfortable for a few hours, but I found the worst part was the gas build up in the shoulders from being pumped full of various gases. Walking was the best for me!!! I was very thankful to stay overnight, not that I got much rest but was glad to be taken care of!!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

sdeale0928 0 Posted April 7, 2009 Good Luck! I go in Friday at 7:30am. It seems so close but so far away. I have heard the more you walk the faster the gas pain goes away. Did that work for anyone? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
