The same thing happened to me, what happens is that while having stomach surgery, its makes it harder to brethe in and out fully so in my case parts of my lungs were collapsing, but I felt better after using my spirameter? I think thats how its spelled....but use it! It works! At least 10 x an hour, use a pillow and press against your stomach when you need to cough, when you brethe in hold it for a second or two, it needs to open up your so called " grapes" in your lungs.

Omg 3 weeks of liquid diet! I thought 2 days was bad!

I also had lapband with plication... Im 7 days post and still in pain, can't hold much liquids, lost 18 lbs in 9 days....why can't i burpe? I have constant pressure and the need to but it wont come up!

I'm five days post-op....and I have never had this much gas in all my life! I'm always complaining to my husband before about his gas but this is awful!

My dr told me that i won't get a fill up for at least a year? I'm five days post-op....but I think it's because she also done plications, were she tucked my stomach into it self and stitched it...but i was astonished by her telling me a year?

I do have them really bad.....the only thing that i can see that helps is ice packs and stizt bath, after movement get you a sandwich bag, fill with crushed ice, lay ice pack on directly for atleast 15 mins. Maybe increase your fiber, if your constipated it will make them worse, hope this helps.

Thanks guys! I'll try with a pillow, never thought of that....
