Bloating

I was banded on 9/26 and although I have lost some pounds but my stomach still feels very bloated. I don't have gas pains of feel like I have gas but still feel very "puffy". Do you think the stomach swells? Is it just gas? It seems like by now it should be going away.

Thanks in advance.....................I'm so glad we have this website!

    I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but I was banded 10 days before you and my stomach is still very bloated. I look like I am pregnant. But I am still losing weight so I just figure it will go away eventually.
