Hi all,

I finally had my band put in today.

It feels really good.

I am in abit of pain but I see everyone talking about gas pain? Can you please explain what this is?

Thanks

Day 5 post op and the has pain has subsided abit bit still there. I'm still in a little pain but getting there. I've been taking pain and nausea meds and that's about it.

Post op day 6 And Gas is Still A Big Problem!!!!

Gosh...did the dr. forget to take some of the gas out of me? I watched a Lap Band surgery online and I saw the dr pump in the gas then suck it back out. I know u can't get all of it out by damn, really??? This is terrible. But hey, at least I am not hungry and I have loss 13 lbs since surgery 6 days ago.

I think week two gas is worse than week one! Just keep walking, and taking something to relieve, hot water bottle, shoulder rub...Best wishes!

Oh no!

I was banded Oct. 18. The gas was the worst. I am now wanting "real" food very bad. Good luck to all.

I found if you walk around it will pass. I had a lot of gas my self and still have more passing the wind then I did before the band but feels much better
