Okay, I was banded on 7/8 and had the normal gas in my shoulder/chest area. Today I feel like the gas is more so in my belly. I have been taking gas-x strips and gas x chewables and walking, but it isn't getting much better. I think I will call my surgeon in the am to see if there is a script that might work better.

Please share what worked best for you.

Thanks

Good luck with the gas. I STILL get pains up in my shoulder, especially after I have a fill. It's the weirest thing! Only advice I can give is to walk, walk, and walk some more. Also, I know it's weird to burp because it's not like it used to be but that's what helps me.

I wish I had a magic answer for you, but at least for me there was no magic answer. I think the only thing that helped me was time. I'm 17 days postop and I'm just finally starting to feel good. I did the Gas-X strips and the walking but nothing seemed to help. For me, changing position seemed to move the gas around so I could get rid of it, and a heating pad seemed to ease the pain a bit.

Good luck... it WILL get better eventually.
