I'm looking to you my friends, I just had my lap-band done yesterday afternoon, I did really good today, walking around alot and rolling my shoulders but my this afternoon The pain behind the breast bone is worse!! Ive taken my pain meds and hope they kick in soon. Does anyone have another idea to get rid of the gas pain?? Ive tried gas-x as well.. Please help!!

Hi Diane,

are you sure they are gas pains? could they be pain from the surgery itself?

What did your doctor suggest for gas? I have seen people saying they use gas X strips or chewables and walk a lot. I had lots of pain but the gast was mostly on the lower abdomen and shoulder.

I hope you feel better soon.

Thank you to the both of you! Its now 2:20am and I cant sleep, I just took pain meds and anti-nausea med. Hope they both kick in soon. Thanks for your help!

Dina69...sorry to hear of your pain...this too shall pass! so hang in there...I am thinking of you.

Dina how are you feeling? I was banded 9 days ago and I feel your pain!

I hope you are feeling better!!

It has to be a gas bubble from surgery, now it has worked its way up to my throat! I do feel much better today than yesterday, So I know Tomorrow will be better. Thanks for the info..
