Banded Yesterday...omg The Gas



Recommended Posts

I was just banded on October 25. Because of everyone on here I knew to walk as soon as possible and a lot that really helped me. I have had very little dicomfort with the gas.

This forum is so very helpful for all of us newbies to get advice before the next step.

Thank-you everyone.

I was banded a month ago and had horrible gas pains up under my ribs and felt like I couldn't even breathe sometimes because of it. I was using Gas-x strips but they didn't help at all. I switched to the extra strength Gas-x chewable tablets and it really did help a lot. Moving around as much as possible helps too.

Yep, be the little engine that could.....toot your way to relief, and I am serious. Burp and (ahem) fart EVERY chance you get. This is not time to be a lady (or gentleman). GO FOR IT! Heating pad works well also. You can also take the PAIN MEDS. That's what they're there for....PAIN.

Walking did not shift mine. I had such severe gas pains post op I was given Morphine twice. It doesn't last for long (a couple of days bad, then bearable with regular pain relief). It went completely by 10 days post op.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
