Today was my Lap Band surgery and not feeling too poorly except for the gas. I am walking and I know it takes time, but does anyone have any other suggestions? Thanks in advance. Lauren

Congrats on your surgery. I will be having mine tomorrow morning so I will probably be able to relate to what you are feeling now. I have read if you use a heating pad that it helps. Hope you are feeling better soon. Take care Fran

RNY on 10/12/06

Lauren, I had my RNY on the 12th. The only pain that I have experienced is from the gas. I know exactly what you are going through. The best thing to do is move, move, and move. I am 5 days post op and I am still having some pain from it. Yesterday it was so bad that I couldn't eat or drink anything. The pain in my chest and back was horrible. Today it is much better. Thank goodness! I have found out that taking really nice long hot showers work good too. Hope you get over this really soon! I know where you are coming from. Oh, Congrats on your surgery! Hugs, Sherry
