Hello, I was just banded yesterday Nov 10 and have the same gas, bloating, and not sure if it's hunger pains or pain from the incisions or what. It's a really weird feeling. I used the strips for gas and bloating, I guess it's helped a little because I haven't had the shoulder pain like I've heard is very common. My stomach is also making weird gurgling noises and once in a while I will feel a sharp pain move around...almost like it's trapped gas. My incisions are still covered with the same bandages I left the hospital yesterday with and I just got a call from the hospital saying I could take them off, take a shower, and replace them with new bandages after the skin is completely dry. I've been walking a lot around the house..maybe too much because my incisions have bled a bit under the bandages.

I was banded yesterday as well...no shoulder pain yet...but I do have a sore throat and very bloated. The worst part for me was waking up and not being able to swallow...it took about 30 minutes for me to get that good swallowing feeling back and it scared me. I slept surprisingly better than I thought I would last night...just couldn't sleep on my side. Good luck!
