I was banded 6 weeks ago, and had my first fill almost 3 weeks ago. Since my fill I have noticed that every time I eat, no matter what it is, I get gas. It's not uncomfortable, but it's kind of embarassing. Is anyone else experiencing this?

unfortunately gas is a permenant part of being banded. We all have it. I have had it for three years. I just take gas ex or beano before I eat which seems to help.

I passed a lot of gas in the beginning because the toxins were getting out of my body and tissues...now not so much however I get very constipated and now need to address that issue..

The other thing is that we have to learn to eat slower and smaller bits. Also when drinking, smaller sips. It is hard to learn and you will get lots of air in you while you are trying to accomplish this. I also burped a lot! It does get better, but I am nearly a year out and it hasn't gone away totally!

I didn't realize the scale of this issue when I first signed up. It's annoying and sometimes embarrassing. I've recently made it a point to let people know about it so they're prepared. Gawd!

Reminds me of Peter Griffin vs Michael Moore. Click if you dare:

      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.

        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!
