I am finally banded :clap2: however, I am in excrutiating pain in my stomach. I am sure its gas, but I am having a hard time passing it, anybody have this problem:help:

Welcome to band land! :wave:

Yep, lots of people have this problem. The best thing to do is walk as much as you're physically able...don't push yourself...but 5 minute walks every 30 minutes...just around your house...will help a lot

Hang in there...better days are ahead! :mad:

You will have this for a couple of days. I had pain in my stomach & then it goes to your shoulders. The gas has to work it's way out of your tissues. Hang in there...I promise it gets better!

LOTS of walking...walking ...gas-x chewables or strips. Also mint tea will help too.

Misskim please keep me inform of yoour new life after being band I'm still considering banding myself. Any words of advice. Hang in there.

Congratulations on getting banded! i'm so jealous! j/k i am still in the beginning stages, but wish you the best!

Hope you feel better soon.Congrats on your band.Donna
