Hey everyone, I'm new here and I was banded almost 1 week ago, on April 29th. Gas is a horrible problem for me, mostly because no matter what its not passing! And when I try to walk it out, my back and shoulder blade hurt soooo bad. I went for a walk around my block and wanted to cry by the end. I'e tried the gas x strips and the maximum strength mylanta chewables and I'm miserable. Has anyone else had walking make it worse and when did it finally go away????
