Hi, I was banded 4/2 and lost most of my surgery gas within the first three days. However, starting on my forth day I started having different gas problems. My stomach just felt bloated and I felt like I had a ton of gas. It was very painful and I still experience it now. I got so sick I threw up air. I thought that maybe I had a virus, but then again on day six (today) I woke up and had the same feeling. I ended up throwing up air again.
I found that walking helped the surgery gas, but there's not much to help with the gas I'm now experiencing. Yesterday, I was able to walk around 1/2 a mile. I thought that may have helped, but it seems that it only delayed the pain (must haved moved it around a bit).
I start back to college today and I have classes late in the evening, which is usually when this all starts happening. I'm hoping that it dissipates today. Otherwise, I may have to stay out longer.
On a good note, if the scale is accurate, I have already lost around 20 pounds, which really helps my feelings on the situation.
