Does anyone else experience bloating/gas more than usual after a fill? I'm in such pain I'm considering having all my fill taken out. This pain is just not worth it.

I AM NOT TOO RESTRICTED EITHER!

Hi, I had my first fill on 3/11 and I've had worse gas since that fill. I'm taking Ultra Gas x and it's not even touching it or helping in any way. I'm not eating foods that should cause me gas either. My doc had trouble finding my port and ending up poking about 12 - 13 tries before he found the port, so I was thinking this might have been the cause for the gas, but if you experienced it too it probably isn't. I hope someone can respond and let us know. Thanks for posting this problem. Linda

Hey ya'll, oh my gosh, im so glad i found this thread even though there arent many answers here yet!

I had my first fill last monday and come weds/thursday I had those gas pains, like after surgery, and they progressed throughout the weekend so bad, all i wanted to do was crouch over! I took all the gas x I could, then I had my sister go out and she bough infants mylecon and some liquid tylenol b/c i was SO uncomfortable!! Neither of those seemed to help too much! So I had made an apt. for the following monday--- ONE WEEK AFTER THE FIRST FILL--- to get a small "deflation"... well long story short- they didnt read the papers and put another full cc IN the band!! When they said that I flipped out and started crying, haha, poor doctor! I was furious. They acted like the gas pains were something new and that they'd go away, one of the nurses told me to take ducolax just to clear it out... i did, its gotten slowely better, and ive been drinking hot tea. BY THE WAY, THEY DIDNT REMOVE ANY SALENE. Im at 3 cc now.. all I can do is HOPE its not like this at every fill!!! and good luck to ya'll!!
