I know this sounds really crazy but try this I found this out accidentally....try leaning over with your elbows on the counter. Im not sure if it helps open up your diaphragm but it works! I had really bad gas for days after surgery and I felt like I just needed to burp but couldnt...I was leaning over resting on the counter and there it came, and from then on if I felt like I needed to burp I leaned over on the counter and it came out. Its been 3 wks out now and I no longer have to do that. Give it a try it may help you too!

I had the same issues LOL that it was just me! It lasted about 5-6 days the weight loss was great! Now it is almost the opposite from one extreme to the other just hang in there.

Hi my name is Becky and I am new to all of this, LOL! I have so many questions... first of all i was banded on Aug 7th, I have had no issues thank goodness, but I got really hunger (the day after my first visit post op) and dealt with it until I started soft foods this week. It has been going well but again am beginning to become hungry about 3 hrs after. I am dealing with it but sometimes am getting nauseated feeling. Any suggestions? I am really focusing on my protein making sure I am getting it in. I see doc this week for another check up...could it be that I will need a fill soon? Also I did really well losing the first 2 wks...now it has stopped, maybe 1 pound if I am lucky. Is that pretty normal? Regardless I am in it for the longgggggg hall and am very excited about everything. Thanks for any comments I just am so new to this and have so many question.
