I have been banded since Oct. 2006. I have had gas problems ever since, some days worse than others. I have eaten different foods to see if that was the problem. I guess that wasn't it, because I'm still having the gas. It's really just an uncomfortable feeling nothing really painful. Yes and sometimes embarrassing.:cry

My Dr. says this stays with some people forever. I'm not complaining, I'd have this surgery again in a heartbeat! I was just wondering if anyone else has this problem?

I love this Lapband, I have lost 40 lbs, and I have gone from a size 22 to a size 14. The inches are really falling off. I have never lost inches like this before. It's GREAT!!! I have about 60 lbs. to go!!! I know this is a slow but healthy way to lose, and I love it. You learn something new almost everyday.

:clap2: Band On!!!:clap2:

I used to have problems with gas. Have you tried Beano? It worked wonders for me. It's on the shelf with Maalox, Gas-X etc.

I have a lot of gas, but no pain with it. It is a problem at times and I have to excuese myself and go in the restroom.
