You're Banded!!!!!!! Yeaaaa. The best thing you can do for the gas is to move and move a lot. It will likely take days maybe even a week to get rid of the gas. The gas from the surgery is outside of your stomach so I doubt if an anti-gas medication will work on it. Not sure but walk, walk walk. That will definately work!!!! God bless!

Do Not Waste Your Money.. I Have Spent A Fortune On Gas X, Peppermint Tea, Charcoal Tablets, And Rolaids. It Is What It Is.. Just Walk Around And It Will Get Better In About 10 Days Or So.. My Doctor Also Put Me On Medication For Acid Reflux.. Good Luck..

yes, it sometimes works, but your best bet... is to have someone burp you... (I know it sounds weird), but remember your stomach's like alittle baby's right now. and walking up and down the stairs and aroaund the block helps too.

I used the GAS X strips that melt in your mouth, because I had complications after the surgery and couldn't move around too much and that honestly worked for me.

Congrats on your new hardware! I find that the Mint gas-x strips helped me...I did three at a shot, one right after another and then walked around. It definatley helped me. Good luck!!:smile:
