I'm doing okay! My only issue is with the times between fills...Otherwise, you've gotta remember to eat healthy and CHEW, CHEW, CHEW!! Good luck!!

Yes, you can still get a fill. Sometimes certain foods just tend to be more difficult. Sometimes we are simply not eating small enough bites or chewing enough. What you're experiencing is very normal.
Your doctor will know what's best, especially since he uses floro for his fills.
Best wishes

Eek! I have my surgery next Thursday, 6/20. I am reading all these gas posts and getting nervous, I just told my hubby we need to go to the store for some gas-x ASAP! Haha! Good luck to you all!

It is so unreal to hear that someone is having the same exact feelings that I am, glad to not be alone:) I too am going to the store today for some light walking around. I also feel the pressure in the back and chest.

Thanks for replying everyone. That gas was a killer the first night. It was right in the center right up under the diagram and I thought I was going to die. But finally feel asleep about 4 am and woke up and it had moved so I know it was gas. I am taking Gas-X as well. It has moved to my shoulders and chest now. Its like when I take a deep breath I can feel it. I do get up and walk. I feel good today and I think I am going to go to the store and do a little walking to get it moving some more.

I was just banded myself on Thursday:) Good Luck girl! I too am really gassy, yuck! It hurts, but I keep walking, talking gas meds and the pain meds help me sleep at night.

I was also banded on Friday. I've been taking gas x and it seems to help. I too am not hungry at all. My belly is pretty sore and bloated, but with the pain medicine and gas x I'm making it! I wish you the best of luck in your new journey! I know I'm very excited about mine!

I finally got banded on Friday. It was a breeze. No problems at all. THE GAS ! ! ! ! Is the killer lol I have taken pictures the night before surgery and I am so excited on this new journey I am taking. his is day 2 post op and I am not hungry at all. Good right? lol If anyone have any advice on how to get this gas out of me fast I would appreciate it.

Great!! Welcome to the other side... I'm 6 days post op and I still feel the gas. Walking is the key!! Gas x and sip on your Water. I motivate myself by saying I'm greater than this gas pain. So don't let it stabilize you. Best of luck!

Did you all set up a group? I'm being banded on 6/20 by Dr. Nirmul.

I just got banded this morning so I'm in the same boat! Drinking chicken broth and lots of water! I feel really good too!
