Hi all! I was banded this morning and honestly, my stomach does not hurt that bad....just sore. I only have two incisions and one is in my belly button, but my back hurts bad and my chest feels so tight!!! I can get breaths fine....breathing doesn't hurt, but gosh it's so tight!! Tell me it's just the gas and that it will go away! I am burping, but only a tiny bit and I am walking all over the house every 15-30 minutes - so when is this gas going to start moving OUT???

my chest was tight too, just keep walking it'll move around and come out , I feel like I got to burp only a little comes out too just keep walking, the gas will go away

Walk WAlk Walk...I can not stress this enough. It really does help out a lot. Also rest with ice packs on the part of your back that hurts. I stayed overnight in the hospital an slept on two ice pace both right under each shoulder blade. It will help trust that...

Walk and use some Gas-X thin strips. Good Luck and congratulations...
