what is that?

thanks 4 all the advice i am walking alot i was just scared that i was doing something wrong and my band would slip i dont want that 2 happen the fluids i drink go down slow so i got scared im not vomiting or spitting up up the fluids go down slower then when i 1st came home is that normal? i dont feel sick just that gas pressure in my chest and shoulders i can feel the gas moving also did anyone have a really bad sore throat after surgery cause mines is killing me

can anyone tell me how long before all the gas and chest pain from the gas diminish i had my surgery on monday and i still have a lot of gas pain any advice pls!!!!:scared2::wink2::smile:

i have a gas pain now for the last 3 hrs its stuck on my left rib its killing me going up 2 my shoulder ive had gas pains since the surgery but this one has been the worse i hope it goes away soon or im not sleeping tonight! they do feel like spasms

Thanks tim! im glad you're not having much gas pain im probraly having enough for the both of us!! its killing me today for some reason but i know it will pass. Besides that, it's not to bad, its nice not being hungry hope all continues to go well with u keep me posted good luck!

no u didn't screw up so dont beat yourself up if u have a 4-cc band and its almost filled it actually mite b to tight so u might want to have it checked. of course limiting alcohol is never a bad thing but u r allowed to have a drink now and then and a martini doesn't sound to bad what happened is that u mite have had something stuck and when it mixed with the alcohol boom vomit concoction lol i do hope u feel better call your Dr. and definitely stay off solids and alcohol till u have the ok from him gd luck keep me posted!!!

its pretty rough the gas pain is the worse i find myself walking alot cause it does help i take the gas=x it helps a little but not as much as the walking but im sure i will feel better in a week i have no regrets i know i made the right choice and when the weight starts to come off i will be even happier Good luck on your journey you will do great

wow! thank u so much for the info i will definitely use it to my advantage good luck on the relay race im sure u will do well ill keep u posted on my progress i hope one day 2 b able to do that amount of exercise ive always wanted to be somewhat athletic but my weight was always an issue

ok thanks i will!!!!

ok thanks i have my post op app on the 23rd ill as then

yeah hopefully thats it cause that simple to fix and that way u can start enjoying ur food again and not feeling sick

congrats on losing all your weight it sounds like maybe your band might b to tight i know i was told that the band will always feel tighter in the morning which is why many of us cant have anything but a protein shake maybe you need to get it checked u might have to much fluids in it good luck with that hope all turns out well
