In So Much Pain!!!

I had my surgery April 26 2012 and am currently on soft moist foods. I am in so much pain from gas its unreal. I have tried everything from beano to gas x, walking, laying on the floor everything. I'm so distressed that I want to cry and am currently regretting my decision to have the lapband. Can anyone help deal with this issue..

Maria, some peoples gas lasts longer than others, that was probably my worst problem, I had more gas and nausea than a lot of my friends. My doctor gave me Xoforan that would dissolve under my tonge for the nausea and I lived on gasx, I am honestly surprised I did not OD on gas x. You are pretty far post op to still be having gas pains?? Have you been back for a post op visit and discussed these issues with your surgeon? What foods are you eating? If you are truly in a lot of pain I strongly recommend you call you MD.

Thank you for your reply. I went in on Friday to do an emergancy ct and they stated that everything is fine. My MD took out all the saline in my band to relieve the pain. Its now two days later and I'm still battling the pain but not as much, now I have so much nausea that I can't seem to get anything down. The thought of anything in my stomach makes me feel so sick. I've been put on a liquid diet until tomorrow but like I said haven't been able to get anything down. The MD said its very unsual for someone to be band intolerate and I'm wondering if this is true.
