i was band 5/01 and still have gas pain, but much better than before.how long did you have gas?

I am drinkin liquids and are slowely going down. does this get better with time? I belive it might just be the swelling around the band area. I am very parnoid that my band is too tight and i wont be able to eat at all later on.

I also have very light pain when i take deep breaths where my stomach is. not sure if it is the incision pain on my abs or its my band. My stomach is still swollen especially where the port is, how long does it take for that swelling to go down.

you input will really help me

I had swelling for about three weeks post-op. And the gas pains at this point are still normal. The best way to get rid of it is to walk, walk, walk. If you're laying around a lot, it's just going to lay there, too!
