BLOATED and feeling like I am going to explode!!!

I have heard of people feeling bloated and full of gas right after surgery, BUT that didn't happen to me. HOWEVER, I am now almost 1-year removed from lapband surgery and feeling like I am going to EXPLODE!!! It started about 4-6 weeks ago and I am miserable!! Every time I take a bite of anything I end up with lots of gas, stomach pain, and a very bloated stomach from all of the built-up air. Can someone please help and let me know what to do?!?!?!

I think I would see my doctor. Have you changed anything in your diet or medicine regime lately? Hope you get some resolution soon.

I agree with the above. You need to go and see a Dr. Any change to your digestive system/habits can be a cause for concern.

PS. If you were female I would have said go and see your gynae and get your ovaries checked out!

Nope. No changes in diet or medicine since the beginning. I think I will go see the doctor about it. It's weird. Thanks and have a great day.

Not a female so luckily I can rule that out :)
