Hi Everyone! I was banded this Monday May 6th. I came home same day and violently threw up Monday night. On Tuesday the pain in my abdomen was severe... I also started to bloat. I called the dr and they readmitted me for ILEUS. I never heard of this. As a result I had to have a NG tube inserted thru my nose down to my stomach for two days for the gas to release. I am home now (late Thursday) and need all the help I can get to get this gas out of me... Anyhelp will be appreciated. Walking has given me some relief but not enough.

I was banded on Monday too. So sorry to hear you had such problems. The gas didn't bother me until today and it's very worrisome. I'm having a hard time swallowing water even. Walking helps me a bit too, but you can't walk all day. Hope you get some relief.

Gas can be very painful. Try gas-x strips or chewables and walk walk walk and then walk some more. Sorry there is no easy way . some people also use heating pads just make sure you do not fall asleep with it on.

Gas x, heating pad, walk walk walk..... And then walk. Hope it helps!

Wow. I'm sorry for your experience. I was banded on Monday as well. I just usea hot water bottle on my back. Have my boyfriend massage & beat lightly on my back & walk while moving my arms.
