I was only banded on Friday. The thing that is bothering me most is the air or gas in my shoulders and upper chest. How long does it take to get rid of this? Any suggestions? I haven't had a bit of trouble drinking liquids, but the gas part really hurts.

Thanks!

i was banded wednesday and still having gas/bloating. Its not bad its more or less just annoying i cannot get my self to burp no matter what i do' date=' but gravity has been helping remove the gas if you catch my drift. i would give anything just for a room clearing burp right now, hang in there![/quote']

I feel ya! I've just now started to burp and I was banded on May 4th! Gas X is my friend! Hahaha!!

Alot of people have problems with burping. I wish i could get one out.

I think I the gas from the surgery has finally worked most of itself out, now I just have an issue with belching. It seems like I am full of gas in my chest. Could this still be from the surgery??? I was banded on 5/25/12. I purchased every pack of GasX strips that Walgreens had in stock today. Hoping they kick in soon and start to ease this up. Any input on what's causing this would be appreciated tho!!!
