My first week I burped constantly. No matter what I drank it still happened. My doc said to take the gasx strips or chewables and that really helped.

4 day post op and every time I burp or hiccup I have this wonderful pain. I have been thinking that it is air and hoping that it is because it is a rather unpleasant feeling. Mine is also on the left side and seems to also be right in the middle of my chest. I completely forgot about gas x strips. Going to send the hubby out to get them asap. I bet that is what it is.

How did your surgery go? Other then the lovely gas pain how is everything going?

Hi i had my surgery on the 23rd and i feel this horrible gas too..it is getting less frequent but I don't find the gasx works . Im looking forward to being healed. im fine when i sit back i don't even feel i have it until i stand up then i feel this huge pull on my stomach and a few seconds after standing the painful gas starts to stir up my chest and back down. When people were talking gas i thought like farting alot or burping not this...I wonder if this is how baby's feel when they have gas hell id cry my ass off too if this is how it feels at a wee age...hmmmm thinking wonder if that gripe Water would help?

Along with the gas-x strips try walking around the house. Even though I was using the strips I didn't start getting relief until I started walking...

I was banded on the 23rd too and the gas x strips haven't seemed to be working so I took some liquid mylanta while ago and that seemed to help more. I was getting the hickups and it felt like I needed to burp after even drinking room temperature Water. I don't even care. I am so thankful to have this band. Most of my incision pain has gone away and I put 30K steps on my pedomiter today so the gas in my shoulder is all but gone. My neck was a little sore today so I put on a thermo care wrap and it feels better. Woo Hoo people here we go. I can feel myself getting thinner already.

I'm three days post-op and today was the worst day with gas so far. It's like I start feeling swollen all around my stomach even when I drink only Water. When I do burp I get pains that go all the way through to my back and it really does make me stop. I've been using the GasX strips, but not sure if they are working. This will get better and stop right? I do feel better when I walk around...but I sure wasn't expecting to have so much gas pain. That's really the majority of the pain I'm in right now - the incisions themselves really aren't bothering me at all...
