I've been reading here all morning looking for some answers, but nothing so far so I'll just ask.

I am 2 weeks post op and get horrible gas pain usually 20-30 mins after eating (soup) or drinking anything, even water. Yesterday I thought I'd change it up and tried to drink my water with a straw. Oh holy crap didn't even get 4 oz down before it started. I can't burp very easily, I have to stand up and contort my body to get even one burp out and it doesn't always work. Sleeping oh man I dread it, gas is way worse then. Last night I resorted to the "knees to chest, buns in the air technique" it did help for awhile I have to say. Am I going to have to live my whole "band" life like this...is this normal? I'm so frustrate and hurting. Should I call the Doc...it seems like a silly question to ask him. P.S. I do take my gas-X and use a heating pad. Thanks for any help.

Devrom, you can get it at GNC or just google it and order some

bartendergreg,

I am so sorry to hear about your infections and the trouble you are going through. I just wanted to let you know that I will be praying for you. Praying that you will be totally healed.

God Bless,

I too have had two fills on 5/29 and on 6/26. Total of 6cc's. So far have had very little discomfort with or after the fills. Did not lose much weight the second month but look forward to this next month. The first fill did not have much affect, I was able to eat anything I wanted as well as practically as much as I wanted. Granted, I didn't want as much as I did pre-surgury. As stated before I didnt loose much but I did loose inches, between 10-12 inches in the waist. All good and I also would do it again.
