Does anyone have severe bloating and if you do what is the cause?

I have had my band for 9.5 years and lately I have noticed that my stomach blows up like a balloon. Yesterday I looked and felt about 10 months pregnant and it was very uncomfortable.

I know there are some common causes:-

Soda, lactose or gluten intolerance. I know it wasn't soda or gluten as I hadn't had any of those. I did have a shake for breakfast so possibly that could be the issue but I am wondering what the other possibilities are? Has anyone had similar symptoms and then gone on to find out it was caused by a slip or erosion or anything else band related?

My band is coming out on Thursday so hopefully I will get some answers then but in the meantime I'm curious

Getting it out will do the trick. I had mine out October 1 2018. Feel so much better. Getting the sleeve February 5th

By the way mine had slipped

So you also had bloating issues?

Interesting

Curious as to why you are having yours removed?
