hello to every one i had my band fitted on the 8th jan 2008 i still am suffering from trapped wind i have tryed several things to help such as windeeze rennie defitine can any recommed something else as this is beginning to get me down although i dont regeat having the band i look foward to hearing from any one good luck to you all :cheers2:

I'm guessing this is a problem with gas? Increasing your exercise, drinking lots of water, and adding fiber GRADUALLY to your diet can all help. I have found that 10 raw almonds a day keeps things moving as they should.

I have found that laying on my left side slightly inclined helps air bubble up through the band and out. (for burping kind of gas - can't help out with the other kind LOL) I think when you lay on your left, your liver doesn't squash your tummy and that lets the air get past the band. Good luck - that is rather uncomfortable!
