Hello January 19th bandsters, I hope everyone is feeling ok. I had really bad gas but everyone has given me alot of advice. If you have gas take some gas-x extra strenght strips and some tylenol fast acting , it worked wonders for me. The gas pains have almost gone away and the gas too. I had left shoulders pains right after surgery and the Dr. said it was gas. It's very uncomfortable and painful. My port area hurts but I'm tolerating it, I guess it comes with the territory. Looking forward to eating some mushies. Week one is almost over. Everyone stay focused on a healthier you.:scared2:

The gas usually expereinced immediately after the operation is felt in teh shoulder and sometimes stomach. This gas is the carbon dioxide that was used during the operation to "pump up" the stoamch cavity so the surgeon could more easliy move around our innards. The gas post op + a few weeks is just the stomach getting used to the new type of food, bearing in mind that most fruit juices tend to ferment a little in the tummy and so just give off gas. I would first try a heating pad if this doesnt work try to old remedy of walking more often (this will allow the gas to come down and exit
Sometimes ice chips are known to cause gas. If you continue to have problems, call your doctor. Hope this helps!!! -

Hi New Year Hotties, I was banded on Monday 19th and having really bad gas. Anyone else have gas like this? I've been walking all night and this morning in my house. I couldn't really sleep bcuz the gas was horrible, it was in my chest. I'm taking chewable gas-x and it's helping some. Do anyone know how long this will last? Any advice is welcomed Please!!!:tongue::wink: -
Hi everyone, I was also banded on the 19th and doing ok so far, except I have alot of air in my chest too . I tried some gas-x it helped but it also felt like i was gaging and wanted to throw up . I hope I haven't caused any damaged to my band. I can't sleep due to the air in my chest and stomach. Any advice is welcomed. I'm also scared to eat anything afraid it might cause extra gas. I'm a little sore but I can deal with that. It's just this gas that hurts and very uncomfortable. Oh I also have it on my left shoulder anyone else , having this problem.:tongue::wink:

I tried gas-x but it made gag once once the gas was coming out and it felt like I was throwing up. I hope I have'nt made my band slip or stretched out my esphogus. Please any advice to get rid of the reflux, gas or whatever it is.

I'm going to try that "Better than Bouillion". I've tried the regular chicken broth but has to season it up. I'm going to try the sugar free jello today. Thanks Mamaof3boys! I'll keep you posted -

Hi Peanutband, I started my two week liquid diet yesterday and I'm doing ok so far. I wish I can do the two day liquid diet too. I'm doing the slimfast low-carb drinks and they are not that good. I'm going to try some chicken broth to switch it up. I see my Dr. tmrw, I got my clearance so I think they will be giving me a time to be at the hospital. This is a struggle for me because I cook for my family daily and the temptations are there, but I've done good not tasting the food.
