Have you been walking? Like a lot? You should try walking every 30 min or so. And gas x strips. All that helps

Diet ginger ale contains gas so that won't help. Besides, now that you are banded, you need to stay off carbonated drinks.

Have you tried a heat pack, walking around, gasex? I hope something works soon and if not, hopefully you can take comfort in knowing that this is only temporary. Hang in there!

WALK , WALK, WALK..It really will help with the gas...and as strange as this sounds if you can lay on your tummy at all try it, worked for me..The walking for some strange reason does help and I has so much pain on the left side of my back area I could hardly move my arm on that side it was bad so I understand..Good luck to you. :-)

My doctor was going to prescribe pepcid for me, but I was already on nexium for acid reflux. I had some gas, but it passed.

My problem is BM's - I find it very hard to go. Anyone have this problem? I was banded 6/13

If its the ginger u are after then open a ginger ale and leave it till the bubbles have gone, putting more gas in your system seems not such a great idea, a heat pad and Hot Drinks, plenty of Water and walking did the job for me ..

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
