So glad to know that this seems to be normal! I'm struggling to know the difference between "gas" and when I'm full. I was just given the go for "soft" food. I was banded on 6/17.

I'm glad to know it's not just me then...I was banded on 6/17 in Delaware, but ended up in the ER with my doctor. He took some Fluid out of the band and loosened it up some--I had the worst heartburn in my life until then. It's gone down considerably, but I'm still fighting all that other gas. The worst part, I think, is now looking bigger than before--all that bloating has made me look about 12 months pregnant! I'd like to at lease SEE my progress Good luck, everyone!

I'm another for 6/17~I have to be at the hospital in about an hour or so. Yikes! Can't believe the day is finally here!! Good luck everyone!
