amceache 5 Posted April 14, 2009 Hello everyone! What an incredible community - I am going to love this site! I was banded last Wednesday, April 8. So far, so good! I have been really hungry, but my pain has been minimal, so I shouldn't complain. Any advice for a newly banded woman? I will take all the help I can get.

PharmaGirl 0 Posted April 15, 2009 Congratulations on your surgery. No advice here as I haven't had surgery yet (scheduled for the 23rd). My partner was banded the day after you and unfortunately, she has not been having such a good time afterward - lots of gas pain, serious bloating, severe nausea. In case it would help you, if you go HERE you'll find a forum of us all going through similar experiences following banding in April. Also, have added your name to the list of April Bandsters HERE.

amceache 5 Posted April 15, 2009 Pharma Girl - thanks so much for adding me to the list! I am so sorry to hear your partner is in so much pain! That is a horrible way to start this whole journey (and it is hard enough as it is, without throwing pain into the mix.) Hope things get better. I will check out the April forum. Good luck on your surgery! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
