Gas pain about to kill me. Hurts to take a deep breath. Is this normal or is something more wrong. I do not have any fill in my band yet.

Normal, try laying on your side and walking helps too.

My first band in 2008 and gas was real bad because I didn't know what it was.I didn't know to move and lay on my side. This time 1/14/14, my Dr tries to get all that air out because he knows how bad it can be.

Yes, it is a normal part of the process. You have to walk and use a heating pad for about ten to fifteen minutes every hour or so also helps. Just take it easy, continue your pain meds and all will be well. Welcome to banderland.

I didn't have alot of gas pains, but I had pain and swelling by my port site. The heating pad did help me. Hang in there!! It will be worth it!!
