Help have anyone experienced severe bloating and stomach pains after banding -- I got banded on March 16th 2006 started having bloating of the stomach december 2007 makes you look like you are pregnant --any advice. mytime:crying:

Hi thanks for all the advice, I did a scan, a barium swallow which shows how thinngs enter the stomach and an xray so now I am going to see the gastroenterologist if those resullts are negative then I would know it's the band. I am so upset because I was 320 lbs went down to 180lbs and when the bloating started my Dr. took out the fill for a month and I gained about 24 lbs because now that I have the fill again its not working like it did first --I am now getting restriction so for two weeks I have hardly eaten yet I cant see the weight loss --so I am upset about that plus the bloating and I just started looking good too.

THANKS PhotoNut
