I had a fill done last Wednesday. I have been having a lot of gas since. Is this due to the gill? Is it normal? Is there a cure? It's a bit much.

I've only had one fill, but I don't remember being gassy, but it's possible. Do you have any gas/x strips? They might help, if not you can call the dr and let them know you are having a little trouble.

Possibly, have you been eating food? My surgeon always had us drinking liquids for 4 days following a fill due to swelling. But, I can't advise that that is the trouble. Try some gas-x, and if that isn't helpful check with the surgeon's office. Karen

I have a theory that the tighter that band gets, the less air can escape upwards and come out as a burp. I hardly burp at all. Therefore, the gas must go down and out the other way. I have been much more gassy since my band. But, I'm eating so healthy it doesn't really smell like it used to. Sorry if that's TMI. Lol.
