i had my surgery june 25 and i had the same problem...wicked gas pains in my back for over a week....i finally got the gas x and took it one night and took the pain medication and went to bed...the next morning i woke up and it was gone! i haven't had it since...you do have to move around, that was my problem, i was in so much pain i was just laying in bed and i wasn't moving around enough. it does go away eventually and it does get better!!!!

good for you!!! i did the exact same thing. me and a friend i work with went to a seminar and made up our minds and we signed right up, within a few weeks we were on our way to surgery, had it june 25 the same day, we work together and it helps to have someone to talk to about everything you are going through. good luck with it...i am in my last days of puree foods, going to see the doctor friday, and then i'll be on whole foods. i lost 23 lbs between my first visit and when i went to have the staples out, and it's been 2 wks since that visit and i thnk i'm down another 3-5lbs and the band hasn't been tightened yet...not sure when he will do it. i'll find out more friday. GOOD LUCK, the surgery was nothing!!! now the hard work comes!!!

i had my surgery june 25 and i had no problems...other than having wicked gas pains in my back. as far as an upset stomach, one person asked if you ate anything a while before you laid down? i know if i take my pills before i go to bed i do get a little pain, it probably hasn't gone down yet and i didn't give it a chance and i get a little pain in there...other than that, i haven't experienced any nausea when i laid down. i'm sure things will get better for you. i feel great as far as the surgery part, haven't had a fill yet, going to doctor friday after the 2 wk puree stage, then REAL FOOD...whoooohoo. i have to say that i am a little reluctant to eat now, because i'm afraid something will go wrong...but i've been eating soft foods and they go down ok...but i don't feel as full as i did when i first started eating anything after the surgery. here's the real test when i start eating whole foods...good luck to you!
