NOW WHAT

 I had surgery(lapband) on 11/4/11, now what, so ive been on liquids for almost 48hrs im surprised that i not craving food. but my body hurts from the gas. when does that go away. I dont know i just feel the same like nothing has happen. when will this feeling go away? and what should i bedoing now. idk im all over the place

LOL.  Well first off, congrats!  You wont really feel your band unless something is wrong...most likely when your stuck!  This is the time for healing.  Listen your your doctors orders, follow the rules, keep sipping your liquids, and get your rest, etc.  Walk as much as your able to get rid of the gas.  GasX strips were awesome too.  I never had food cravings or an issue with the liquid/soft food diet.  You may or may not.  Good luck!

 Thanks ashley, lol i needed to here from someone else as I sit here waiting on something amazing to hapen.

oh the gasses are the worst try and get up and walk atleast for 5 mins a few times a day, if thats the only thing that bothers u u are one of the lucky ones my friend! i too felt like nothing happened i was very excited to get this weight loss started :) just enjoy the rest and let ur body heal :) congratsssssssssss

Thanks for the feed back i really appreciate it . I am going get the rest 

Well, Your normal.  I had my done 2 years ago.  I felt the same way.  I could eat like  always.  It wasn't until the band was getting filled that I noted a difference.  As for the gas everybody is different.  It will go away.

Good luck and happy new birthday            .  RERE       

Thanks dave, 

The fill is not a big deal at all.  They take a needle and syringe and put stuff like water in the band to make it tighter.  Let me know how things go

Good Luck    RERE

I had my surgery on 10-20 and i ended up staying in the hospital over night because i had severe chest pain which turned out to be just gas :) i have only lost 5lbs post of :( i was 260 and now between 254-255 as of today.
