I feel stupid for asking...but off and on I can feel gas/air bubbles since my surgery on tuesday (14). Is it new air being trapped down and I'm just sensitive to it or am I still working stuff out since the surgery? lol...again, I feel dumb for asking but am curious why I can feel better and then later it happens again and what I need to do differently.

Thanks.

I was banded on the 17th also. I am really uncomfortable. The only time I feel really sick is when I burp. It feels like I am going to throw up. I haven't it is just the feeling I get. I am so ready for this stage to be over.

ok maybe i dont want to then. I hope you feel better soon.

Kimber - I was banded on the 10th too and still have the gas pain in my shoulder something fierce. Most of the bloating in my abdomen is gone but still very tender. As you probably know...walk, walk, walk. Or at the very least, keep moving around. I find I feel better when I'm moving around. I spent 6 hours in a car Saturday and by then my shoulder was screaming. So please don't sit around...it will just take longer to dissipate.
