I am having some pretty rough cramps and gas pain. I had my first fill on Wednesday. Is this normal? No I am not getting my period.

From a fill? That makes sense after surgery but I don't know how a fill would cause gas. Maybe it's something you ate? If I have trouble after a fill it's with getting stuck. No gas or cramping that I can remember.

I get gas pains on and off. I think there's something about the way swallow that makes me trap air under the band.

Been checked for symptoms of gastritis, by any chance? I developed gastritis while banded and it caused the most intense cramping. Really painful. I feel for you. There are some medications that can help. Dexilant is one.

Ivy, what is gastritis? I am going to a gastro doctor on Wednesday with a lot of questions. It is really painful!

Spoke to my doctor last night and he thinks t is all lower gas pains. He said it can be very painful and it is. He recommended getting Beano for the lower gas pain. Hope it works!

I still get some gas and I think it might be from eating too fast or swallowing too big of a bite. Never had a stuck but sometimes I forget to chew chew chew before I swallow.
