okay im almost 4 weeks out from surgery and still after 4 weeks have gas!! it doesnt hurt BUT i cant stop burping or pardon me (breaking wind) lol anyone else goin on 4 weeks or more with gas still?:seeya:

oh god!! i was buying those gas x strips so much i wish i had stock in them! it has slowed down a bit but some days its really really really bad!! my 7yo thinks its sooo funny! he says "when u fart its a sugn of happiness!" something i'm willing to bet my life he got off tv... but now we both laugh so maybe he is correct!

I was banded September 17, 2007 and I still burp alot. The gas is not so bad now. Gas X now has strips that you place on your tongue and the taste isn't so bad. It helps alot.
