Hi, I was banded yesterday. Is it normal to feel gas pain (across the back at the shoulder line) after a sip of Water?

Thanks!

Is this your second time being banded? Your ticker says 2006. Oh, I forgot to answer your question. Yea, gas is likely to be anywhere after surgery. I hope you got your gax-x.

Yes - my original pouch was dilated, so the lap-band was removed and replaced. Can't quite figure out how to change my ticker information.

I think if you go to top of your page next to your picture where it says "signed in as" click on

my profile and then you can edit your signature from there.

Yes, you're right - thanks for the tip - I couldn't find the option to change my signature before.

My gas was so bad that my shoulder had this excruciating pain, I quit drinking from a straw when helped enormously.

Try drinking it at room temperature, it may help a little bit.
