Hi every1, im Chan, 23, from London i just got banded on the 18th of march, i was so excited until i realised i cant handle pain! oh my gosh i know its 3days post op but this pain is killing me i didnt think it wud b this bad because every1 i spoke to said they didnt feel nothing, im in so much agony, i keep being told its trapped gas but how much trap gas can i have?? sometimes it feels as if my stomach is about to rip if i feel like this by friday i might have to go back to the hospital, did any1 else feel as much pain??!, can any1 give me some tips on how to release the gas or tips i can do to stop the pain (the medicine i was given made me feel worse i cant handle tabs that u put in water).

on the positive note i have lost 10lb since my pre-op weigh in last week weds... i think thats whats keeping me tryna make this work rather then go str8 to the hospital, on the other hand since the pain i seem to be finding all the horror stories about the band op (b4 i jus saw all the good stories!). how can i tell if my band has slipped or not? omg sorry about all the Qs...please help!

is this forum only for people who have been banded by Dr Ortiz?? every message i seem to read is banded by that dr, if it is sorry i just in pain and need help from other banded members.

beata was u getting alot of stomach pain and bruising after surgury? because i just had my surgury 3days ago and im in so much pain everyone keeps telling me its because of trapped wind but im in so much agony ev1 i talk to says they didnt have no pain after surgury
