Hi everyone,

I was banded on 8/13/09. I had very little gas pain after surgery. However, I woke up this morning and the gas was horrible. It hurts so bad sometimes it takes my breath away. I’m taking gas x and walking a ton. Any more advise?

Hi kiaa. Walking and moving around was the only thing that helped me to feel a little better.

You are doing the right things. You just have to wait it out and walk, walk, walk. Also, be sure to use your breathing machine with deep breaths to help with pain and prevent other illness.
