I was wondering if any of you more experienced bandsters might be able to offer a solution.......

I am 5 weeks post-op and I have for about a week been having the most terrible gas pains at night. They are so terrible they are waking me up at night and are causing me to loose several hours of sleep at night. :biggrin:

I am using Gas-X strips and walking when they wake me but since this is really putting a damper on my joy of being banded I thought I'd ask if any of you have experienced this and how you delt with it.

My doctors office didn't have any advice other than what I'm doing so I thought I'd ask the people who might have first hand knowledge.

I am miserable!:biggrin:

Please help!

Take more gas x up to 280mg and use a heating pad it worked for me I thought I was gonna explode. Definately the heating pad in the front where the pain is on HIGH

Thank you I'll try that.

:biggrin:

Thank you too! I'm having the same problem!:smile2:

I am having shoulder pain is this gas?
