No I haven't experienced them because I'm doing everything to prevent the pain. Walking and drinking the mint tea. I'm burping alot- actually it's coming out both ends. Are u having this experience?

Where does all the gas come from? I know they blow up our abdomens during the surgery, but that went away, along with the shoulder pain that was totally excrutiating... Now, if I try to drink any of the allowed Clear Liquids, I feel like all that gas comes right back and my entire abdomen is about to explode. I can't even drink 4 oz of Water.

4 days post op and wondering if I made a big mistake :(

The first few days after surgery, when I'd drink my stomach would feel very bloated and I had tummy gas that I couldn't seem to expel. It will pass! Sip very slowly and try hot liquids instead of cold. Ice cold Water just seemed to make my gas worse.

Be patient with yourself. You will be healing for the next 6 weeks. Life with the band will not be like this forever. :)

Your stomach is still swelling from surgery. I also felt like I might have made a big mistake at first also I could hardly get 8oz of liquid down in a day for probably 2-3 weeks. And I was use to always drinking. I carried a drink with me at all times before surgery. Still I don't drink as much as before. Now I worry about getting enough fluids in. We will all adjust over time.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
