Wow...I've been sitting here reading through this thread....I'm from GA and had no idea that people had to go to Mexico to be banded!!!! All you're results are incredible!

I had my sugery on Friday, May 4, two days ago, and I"m not feeling to very well right now! Not have any regreats mind you, just ALOT of pain...and the wild thing is...its not with my tummy...its all the gas pains up my chest and my back...and then to top it all off....somehow, I've got a cold and I"m coughing my dang lungs up!!! LOL...I'm just praying that this will not hurt my band any by coughing so much....any suggestions there???

I keep telling myself....wow...just think...in a year from now, you'll be off your insulin, slim, and look'n mighty fine!!!! I simply cant wait!!!! My brother came to visit me yesterday and was arguing with his wife that HE was gona get to buy my first bikini...LOL>...how funny is that!!!

Ok, well...any suggestions would be greatly appreciated, and to those who havent been banded as of yet, good luck, your in my thoughts and prayers!!!

NB

Walk, walk, walk and then walk some more. That was the best thing for me and my gas.

GasX strips and Gaviscon (sp) help, but honestly, the walking was what helped me the most.

ok thanks..and here's another question.....somehow, I've come down with a dang cold...can't breath, and i'm coughing all the time...is that gona hurt my band any???

Hello all!!! I'm in horrible pain!!!! My tummy itself doesn't feel bad at all...its the pain I have from my waist all the way up to my neck...I haven't been able to burp at all!!!!! Any suggestions????
