Hey Gwen, Btw just call me Freda, the gas...boy do I remember that, geez...I walked, a lot, I went to Walmart on the 2nd day, I walked a nature trail by day three, i had it so bad, it was in my left shoulder. The gas-x didnt help that 1st week, but it helps now. Walking is the only thing that helped, you are both bloated and your stomach is swollen, its a combo deal! LoL! My stomach is still little swollen, but nothing like right after the surgery, its all that air they pump into you. It takes about 2 weeks for the gas pains to subside. I was on clear liquids for a week and a half, after my staples were removed I was moved to mushies like tuna. I`m sure your throat is so sore, that last about a week, warm broth & cough drops help me so much. Im glad you are banded! I hope this helps!
