Hi all... I am sure you have heard this before. I was banded 4 weeks ago today. I am not eating dairy, I am still just having liquid, am loosing very rapidly, but my problem is the gas. Thank goodness I work for myself. I am passing gas, and I am not kidding here, every ten seconds!! Not small amounts either. I just can't imagine that this is the CO2 still. I am sure there is some in me, but from what I understand that is released through respiration. This gas is in my tummy, painful, and distending. I am afraid of two things: this will never go away, and the bloating will dislodge my band. Any info would be great. Other than that, I feel great.

im also 4 weeks out with the same problem so you are not alone! but i dont know what is causing it ,sorry i cant help more

ladies try gas x it worked for me

Anything with Simithacone in it will help Yes gas-x is awesome and comes in a chewable. Infant colic drops work well but you have to drink lol bout the whole bottle

Thanks for the replies...my doctor said no to those things for some reason, but will keep asking.
