He past few days I have been burping like a sailor and passing gas like a truck driver eating chili lol. I feel great otherwise, I'm 8 months post op and have lost 47 pounds. Which is fine, I wanted to lose nice and slow, but a friend of mine who got the band in 2010, her band slipped and now anything makes me paranoid.

Any words of comfort?

I feel you on the gas thing. Since the surgery I toot alot. But they seem to not smell as much since I'm eating healthy.

As far as your friends band slip. That's terrible for her, but you can't spend your life worrying about things that might not happen. Just focus on yourself and keep doing what you've been doing. Congrats on your success!

Thank you soo much Leepers!! I guess every little thing stresses me out since I found out about my friend. She thinks its from eating poorly, too fast, and stretching her stoma.

I had noticed myself doing some of the same things, but I am now stomping that out. I am measuring my foods, timing how long it takes to eat, and chew chew chewing.

The gas today has been odd, it started yesterday, but I think it was from the food I had eaten, well nibbled. When I woke up this morning I felt great, then I ate yogurt with granola of all things and *boom* the burping and passing gas started..lol

No pain, well a little but it feels like it did right after surgery, the gas pressure feeling in the middle of my back. Ugh I will be glad when Wednesday gets here!! I go to the Dr and hes going to do a barium drink and a fill if everything is ok.

I will talk to him about my mental issue also..lol
