Good Grief! I have been banded for two weeks and 1 day. I know the constipation is pretty normal, but the gas is out of control! I feel like I have enough gas to run a jet! Is this normal? I know some is, but this is getting OLD! Will it subside a little at least? Started at 219....down 23 lbs.

Unfortunately it's normal, and while I have less now than I did right after surgery, I'm still way gassier now than I was before surgery Sorry to be the bearer of bad news!

Yes also far gassier than previously and I am 2 years out. Worst part is that initially i would burp lot but now it prefers to come out the other end!

I too feel like someone pumped me up with an air tank. I had surgery one week and one day ago. I am Gas-X's newest customer! At least I belch for the most part.......more disguisable than the other end.

Sorry but, HA HA! Over 2 years and gas is just with me. So much better than it was at first, it would wake me during the night. Now some foods more than others, if my first meal is heavy. Also if I eat, no matter how light and get in the car or sit for a long time. I guess I just need to move around so things can adjust.

I guess that I am lucky. I don't have excess gas. I get some when I eat spicy, but know not to do that. Mostly can take care of that problem with Tums or Gas-x. None of the other kind, that you! Karen

I am nearly 3 days out now and yes, I have noticed that things are quite gassier than before. I went to bed very bloated last night, but it then made its way out. I guess it's something I'm willing to deal with in order to get healthier though but I agree it is quite a difference. LOL

Thanks all! At least now I know it is normal!
