:help: I was banded on Monday. For the last few days I have been having some pain when I am sitting or standing up. If I am laying down I am fine but if I stand up I feel like I have a huge burp trapped. It is really uncomfortable. :cry I am hoping nothing is wrong. I am on clear liquids until next friday. Any thoughts or advice would be greatly appreciated!

Sounds like gas.....Maalox Max does a WONDERFUL job of moving gas!! Plus you had surgery and your insides were cut ....so it's going to be sore!! Hang in there!!

OMG,

I was banded Mon. too and am having the exact same thing.

Well here is hoping that this gas gets out of here soon. That and moving on to mushies! I am dying with this liquids crap!!! I want to kill people who can eat real food! :hungry:

Get up and MOVE! You're having gas pains and the only things that help are moving, bending, staying hydrated, weaning off narcotic pain meds (tylenol is fine) and anti-gas meds.
