I just got banded last Thursday (3/19), and my gas pains only lasted a couple of days. However, now I'm starting to feel vaguely nauseous all the time. Did this happen to anyone else? Is this normal? Any solutions? Also, am I supposed to take the fiber every day? I feel that I'm "loose" enough already--won't that exacerbate the situation?

Hate to brag, but I can't help it. I just got banded yesterday, and I FEEL GREAT!!! I pretty much felt great from about 30 minutes on! No nausea, just a little gas, a little soreness--but I could even lay on my side (carefully!) during the overnight stay at the clinic! So newbies, don't panic--everyone is different--with any luck you'll have an easy time of it, too!

I just got banded yesterday! The experience was really great--all the good things you hear about the clinic on this site are TRUE! I felt so good afterwards that I was able to come home TODAY (I just live two hours up the freeway in CA). Here's a shout-out to the 7 other lap-banding ladies who spent the night with me. We had a slumber party complete with popsicle treats--strangely good times!
