Snyder is the one who did my surgery and I've been going to since day one. I'm waiting to see if I have to get a scope. Definitely not eating to fast, much or not chewing enough. I have no idea

That is great news to hear! I got mine done from Snyder 10 months ago and have lost 60 lbs and counting! They really are good! I hope it works out for you! If you would like information about them or just need help you can send me a message! I'd be glad to help!

I was banded on 3/22/13 and I still have gas pains in my shoulder, my tummy is tight, I walk but it doesn't help much for me, I had my first #2 exactly 7 days after surgery. They said 7 days off work should be enough. I am NOT ready to go back to work yet. I have tried yogurt, cottage cheese, runny instant potatoes with some baby food mixed. All is good so far there.

I'm three days post-op, and I've been very uncomfortable too. The gas pains have been the worst but they have gone away for the most part. I've been able to go to the bathroom but take Dulcalax every night just in case. For me, each day is more bearable and I hope it will be for you too.

I had my surgery on 3.27.13 and I've felt the gas pains. The more you walk, the more the gas will be relieved...TRUST ME. Try walking with a pillow on your tummy to help with the pain and pressure. I could tell a difference with my walking and gas each day. I'm on day 5 and still experience gas bc I'm constipated I pray that gets cleared up soon (constipation), but I'm hopeful. It will all settle down, you just have to keep moving and possibly try Metamucil or Miralax to help with Constipation. I'm also still on a clear liquid diet with my regimen as they have spread everything out longer. Hope this helps!

MiraLax worked for me. Im ten days post op, feeling much better. been to the bathroom today because of it. right now the only pain I have is the port poking me when I move in certain ways, but Ive heard that it will go away. the rest is just disconfort, but Im looking forward to healing completely. WE WILL

I'm glad I'm not alone. I feel the walking is no use, my stomach tightens up when I walk. So far I am trying various liquids and have tried yogurt n cottage cheese and all was well. For the first two days both #1 and #2 was happening but now #2 hasn't happened for a few days. Trying to get any gas out is a pain as well. I also found that warm drinks help loosen things up. Buy definitely doesn't help with the dry mouth!
