My Surgery was 9-29-09, still having gas problems

Hey All, i got my band about 3 weeks ago, and I noticed that every time I eat(I am on mushies and protein shakes) I have gas(bad). I take the gas stripes and they work, but I was just wondering if anyone else still have gas problems this far out from surgery...Also will gas be an issue long term.??????:grouphug::w00t::pray2:

    Hi!

    I had my surgery on Sept. 23rd and I also have gas problems. My doctor told me that everyone is different and it is normal to have gas. I have extreme shoulder pain and that is from gas. I told the doctor about the pain and he again said that everyone is different and it will go away. So I am waiting. In the meantime, what helps me is to drink a lot of Water and I can take Tylenol for the pain.

    Thanks
