Post Op Problems

Not sure if this is the right place to post. I was banded 10/26 and having quite a few discomforts and wanted to know if anyone else has felt the same. I had terrible gas from day 1 and found it very hard to walk immediately following. Hospital staff wasnt the greatest b/c they're only solution was to walk. I walked 12 laps around wing still with no relief. Gas wasnt relieved until I went home from hosp the next day and took gas x. felt much better ;-) Now the issues im having is lots of drainage from wounds which doc said is normal b/c he had to cut out a pocket of fat. im still quite gassy and my major discomfort is that i CANNOT burp post op. Its weird b/c i feel like i have to but then i get a lump in my throat that seems to develop into indigestion. having lots of indigestion and heart burn post op as well. also, i have gained 2 pounds since surgery. im so frustrated. im still hungry as hell, and was moved to week 3 diet after only 4 days post op because of my hunger. can someone please share their experiences with me? thanks

I had that problem feeling like I needed to burp one evening, I know its a no no but I took a couple of little sips of diet pepsi my one and only time and I burped and felt so much better. I didnt have that problem any more. I too was hungry as heck 1 day I cried all day long cause I was so hungry. I was not given the option to move to mushy foods and had to tough it out. Things will get better I promise I am 8 and 1/2 post op now and down 50 lbs and feeling so so so much better Good luck

Thanks Vicki for sharing. Congrats on the 50 lb Weight Loss! So the burping feeling eventually away? I cant wait until that happens, it is prob my worst feeling right now.
