Hi everyone! I was banded on July 2 and had lost 12 lbs but sadly I have gained half of it back. My biggest problem is I have terrible gas caught in my upper stomach under my rib cage. It hurts even more when i eat or drink. Any suggestions? I take antcaids and gasx but not must relief. I will get my first fill on August 4.:tongue2:

i am finding it very difficult as i become very thirsty while eating. I also watch the clock and can't wait until my 1 hour is up to drink. I was banded on july 2 and wont have a fill until aug 4 so I'm thinking it will be easier when I have a fill.
