Gas Pain After Fills?



Recommended Posts

I've just had my 7th fill (I now have 7.3cc in a 10cc band) and, as usual, several hours after the fill I get horrible gas pains, almost like the ones you typically get after surgery. They're in the middle and go straight through to the back. I've only had liquids all day, why would this occur? My doctor doesn't have a clue. Anyone else have more gas after a fill?

Thanks.

Jan

I had a fill yesterday and I've had gas, but in the form of flatulence! Like a trumpet!! Plus, I sure can feel the restriction. I hardly could eat anything for dinner. It feels like a huge bubble in between my breast bone. But, this is the tool I've wanted and it will work!

Hello,

I am also at 7.3 cc's, but I have not had any gas problems. But I was also lucky that I never had any gas pains after surgery either. I had read all about the pain and kept waiting for it to happen:)

I do notice that especially in the morning things go down a lot slower. Also sometimes at night.

Hope you feel better.

Hi,

I am burping a lot after my 7th fill today. No gas pain, though. The fill hurt a lot,the needle was just hurting my skin.

YES YES YES....I was filled on the 16th and I was having the same feelings. Gas pain like surgery (inside and out) and burping air, but no reflux. I am an RN so I have been racking my brain to understand the anatomy and physiology of this, but nothing makes ABSOLUTE sense? The only burping theory I could come up with is: now that I have restriction I am noticing that I swallow air when I eat and talk more so now than before???? I feel a lot better just knowing my experience is validated by others! :thumbup:

This band is a funny thing...mind of HIS own! :Banane34:

Yes! Isn't this wierd? I had my first fill last Friday and I had shoulder pain for two days and was extremely gassy in my belly. The strange thing is... I didn't have gas/shoulder pain that bad after surgery! It was mild, but this time it hurt. I guess I felt it more because I didn't have the other pain or the meds to cover it up this time! LOL It wasn't unbearable, just uncomfortable!.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
