Bummer. Sorry to hear that! The pain meds don't help much with the gas. It sounds like you need GasX and lots of walking. IT will get better. I felt better after NOT taking the pain meds and just working on the gas. I do believe that is the majority of the issues. Good luck!

It will get better! It does take time to heal. I was so dumb about the whole thing, I thought it was just gonna be a minor deal! It wasn't.

How long is the gas supposed to last after surgery?

I felt the same way, but toward day 3 it starts getting less then none, but hang in there it

WILL go away.

I was banded Wednesday the 28th and I am feeling the same way...really bad pain in my chest and shoulder. Hopefully tomorrow will be better......

hoping you feel better soon...my hubby experienced this and seemed to feel much better by day 4...

How long is the gas supposed to last after surgery?

I long time it will pass in about 3 weeks... i lived on the gas X it helped me so much...good luck I bin there!

Make Gas-x your new best friend, I really liked and still do like the Gas-x strips that mekt under in your mouth. They come in peppermint and Cinnamon. Good luck it does get better.
