I still feel like shit. Im sore, tired, hungrary. I have terrible gas that makes my stomach an chest hurt....Any suggestions.

Try taking some Gas-X. Maybe walk a little bit, even if it's inside your home.

I was banded on the 8th also. Hopefully, it makes you feel more "normal" is I don't feel like doing much either. I'm not hungry really, just stuck at home head hunger. Certainly sore and wondering what the hell I have done!

I agree with revire on the gas x strips and walking. I live in Northern MN where outdoor walking is not a wonderful idea right but I have been walking laps around the house or I set a timer and walk in place for 5-10 minutes. I highly recommend a heating pad on your belly or on your back underneath the shoulder blade (were my pain likes to hang out). I have one of those heating things with bead like things that I can throw in the microwave. I bought it at Kohls.

If you ever want to vent just let me know. It's nice to talk with others who can almost finish your sentences! LOL

Take Care

Walking is really the best thing to do for the gas and achiness. Also, heat worked for me -- heating pad, warm tea, etc. Hope you feel better soon.

If you haven't gone to the bathroom yet, I suggest taking a laxative. Once I went, the gas was able to escape and I felt much better.

Hang in there! Day 4 improved for me...the first three days I was a hot mess!

I was also banded on 3\8\2011, today i am feeling much better.The first two days was a killer but now i am doing great very little pain and gas. My swelling must have gone down and i am feeling hungry, but i am fighting like hell to stick to my clear liquid. On Wednesday i go to see my surgeon and from there i will see how things go. Just hang on in there and things will get better. I am also back at work . I feel blessed. All the best everyone.

GAS-X STRIPS , they dissolve on your tongue. Good luck. Hopeful one
