I was banded on 10/26/12 and just started experiencing this horrible gas pain yesterday. Nothing helps! I almost regret doing this. Someone please tell me this will end soon. I'm so frustrated and can't even have a glass of Moscato like I normally would. Help please!!

I hope you feel better soon. Will you explain the gas pains? Are they in the chest, lije you need to burp or in the abdomen like cramps?

Banjo the gas piano I believe she is referring to is the gas the surgeon fills you with during surgery trying to exit your body. Not like a gas bubble you would developer from say a need to toot

I HAD GAS pain in my back i couldnt move my arm for a few days and i had my first adjustment on 10/25 and got the same pain the day after

Hot shower. Aim the spray where it hurts. It should help. Hang in there. And walk some more if you can

The pain is mostly in my chest and left shoulder.

For your shoulder try a really warm wet washcloth against it.

It helped me to warm up some apple juice and fruit punch and put a tea bag in it. They gave this to me at the hospital and called it toot juice. It helped heaps. It will get better but it might take a while. You have to walk.

It was about 5 days for me, but walking definitely helps, you have to work the gas out of your body that they pumped in you during surgery. Some say heating pad works too.

I am 3 weeks out and my gas pains just went away and I had to get something stronger than gas x that stuff did nothing for me try phazyme it works amazing

Hold on! What gas do they put into you and why??

I think it just air and it gives the doc more room to work

My gas pain was horrible... Just like your yourself I was regretting the surgery I couldn't even function correctly without being in pain it took me almost 4 weeks for the pain to go away but trust me it's worth it...good luck on ur journey!
