Today marks my one week banding. After being banded I felt pretty good besides the shoulder pain. That pain quickly subsided and I had (have) the stomach gas and pressure. I walked and moved every time I felt it getting worse and that helped ease the pain. But gradually it appears to be getting worse. My stomach cramps and I have frequent bms which I think is related to the gas pressure (this is without any Fiber assistance). I originally thought it was due to the Celebrex and lack if food, but it seems that is not the case.

Instead of it easing up or getting better, it seems to be getting worse.

Walking is not helping, it makes it worse, Pepcid is not helping. I'm getting frustrated because I took a week off thinking the gas would be receding by now. I am just getting frustrated because of this pain!!! Did anyone have these problems after being banded? Please let me know this is apart of the process and it WILL get better!!

Sorry to sound whiny, but I'm just feeling really bad right now!!
