Thank you for the suggestions I am willing to try anything. I think I do drink too fast. Lisa

I've been reading here all morning looking for some answers, but nothing so far so I'll just ask. I am 2 weeks post op and get horrible gas pain usually 20-30 mins after eating (soup) or drinking anything, even water. Yesterday I thought I'd change it up and tried to drink my water with a straw. Oh holy crap didn't even get 4 oz down before it started. I can't burp very easily, I have to stand up and contort my body to get even one burp out and it doesn't always work. Sleeping oh man I dread it, gas is way worse then. Last night I resorted to the "knees to chest, buns in the air technique" it did help for awhile I have to say. Am I going to have to live my whole "band" life like this...is this normal? I'm so frustrate and hurting. Should I call the Doc...it seems like a silly question to ask him. P.S. I do take my gas-X and use a heating pad. Thanks for any help.

Thank you kickrmom, I'll stay in touch.

Thanks for the reply, have you been banded and by who?

Hello all, I have been lurking for a few weeks trying to get as much knowledge as possible. I am a new (1 year)Registered nurse, mother of 3, and have been married for 24 years. I am now convinced that the lap band is for me, but my only option is Mexico because of finances. My mom and I are going to be doing this together so we will have support. I too have been in contact with a couple of these Dr.s from Mexico. I am leaning toward Lopez-Corvala, because Belite (the facilitator) really puts everything together for us, and seems to have really great credentials. But I haven't heard enough about him here on Lapbandtalk. I really would like to hear from some of his patients, so anyone out there who knows anything...please feel free to respond I would really appreciate it. Thanks so much.
