Hello, i was recently banded on Jan 5th, about 13 days ago and i just recently started solid foods but for about 3 or 4 days now something doesnt feel right. Its so hard to explain, but it feels like a gas bubble behind my pouch or like when you swallow something and it hurts going into your stomach, kind of like a hiccup or burp but it stays where my pouch is. like its a weird pressure and i dont know if its normal or if i should call my doc. anyone else have this happen? Ive tried gasx strips, walking, warm tea, heating pad but it doesnt seem to be helping. it sometimes makes me loose my breath. i keep hoping it stops but im worried.. and ive tried just doing liquids but it doesnt help. i only had a drinkable yougurt and a fruit cup that i chewed realllly well and Water today and its still happening like every 30mins or so. if anyone can help id be much in debt. thanks!

THANKS EVERYONE! its still happening but ill try chewing even more than i do now. and ill keep everyone up to date. thanks!

Hi all, Im allie, (new at this sorry) im in my 8th day after surgery, im still in a bit of pain in my lower abdomen. I also have a sharp pain right next to my belly button but i went to visit my doctor today and told him about it and he said i had a belly button hernia that he took out during surgery... anyone else have this? The pain from it hurt soo bad it hurts to walk around sometimes. He said it would go away in time, but ahhh it hurts!! :ohmy: Before surgery I weighed 397 now down to 379!:laugh: woohoo! 18lbs gone. All of my family and friends say they see a difference and it makes all the hurting worth it!! Im off the liquid diet today (thank jeebus). on the pureed and liquids i wasnt getting full at all. also i need lots of ideas for lapband meals!!!!! im not creative in the food department and have no idea what types of stuff i can have and stuff thats the no go food. hahaha if anyone can help id VERY much appriciate it. THANKS GUYS! Allie:thumbup:
