ok, I'm almost 3 days post op

& the gas pressure in my chest n rib cage is still bothersome. Please tell me this is normal & gets better. I've tried making myself burp, but wind up getting the hiccups which then is painful. Gas X doesn't seem to really work either. My doctor says it will eventually pass, but in the meantime I'm miserable. Did anyone else have this issue?

    I am 8 days post op and went through this too. It will pass, you need to make sure to walk A LOT!!! Walking really helped. That was advice I got from here. Walk and use a heating pad. It will get better and congrats on being banded!

    Lots of walking and a heating pad.............I found it was better if I stood up. Sorry to tell you mine lasted about 6 weeks, coming and going periodically.

    Mine lasted about a week maybe 10 days yes it will go away. But right now I'm sure u don't think it will. May sound crazy but my pain pills seemed to help. Good luck
