4 weeks after lap band

[Suzie]

Hello

Hello.

I am 4 weeks post op this coming Tuesday (Oct. 23. This is the best thing I have ever done for myself. I have lost 22 lbs. Lost 13 the first week. I started at a weight of 222,, 5 foot 5 inches tall. I am 55, type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure and high cholesterol. I felt like I was on my way out of this world. Could not control my eating and was gaining steadily. I cannot tell you how much better I feel already and how much energy I have. I am having a problem with gas these last few days. Anyone know why?

I was banded on Oct 16 and I was having the same problem. I started to take Gas X and it helps with the problem. I went to the Dr. this week and let them know about the problem and he said that it was my stomach getting used to being banded and the problem would get better with time. Good luck =D>
