Extreme Gas in Morning!

[Kelaine 0]

I was banded on May 6th. Over the past week, I have woken up every morning due to extreme gas. I seem to only have this in the morning and taking Gas X before bed doesn't seem to help. Has anyone else experienced this lovely side effect? Do you know how I can prevent this or what may be causing so much gas? I am still on my full liquid diet and have not cheated at all.

I was banded on the 10th and let me tell you, the gas is the worst!!! Yesterday I started having sharp pains in my upper left abdomen which I know is gas, but dang it hurts!! I was up every hr last night bcuz of the pain. I burp a lot too!! I've been taking the gas x strips not realizing that the chewables are way stronger!! So try those if your not already. I think what makes the gas worse is if we are eating to fast and/or we are not exercising everyday..these are a must to prevent and get rid of gas!! WALK WALK WALK!!! Also stretching might help move the gas out too! Good luck and hope you feel better soon!!

I have been banded for a little over 2 months... I still burp after eating... thats probably from eatting too fast... But I have gas every morning or when I lay down... I dont know why but its when every I lay down that it builds up... its not smelly or anything like that but I can give my husband a run for his money on how loud it is!! lol I know that is probably more than you want to know... I think its hilarious but I just assume its just trapped air...

I'm having the same problem. I was just banded yesterday am. I couldn't hardly sleep last night for the gas pains. I finally got up and sat on the couch to sleep. I can't seem to get it to move down at all. Any suggestions

Mandy I was banded yesterday also. I have a lot of gas and I am belching it out. But, if I lay still too long it builds up and won't come out. Driving home from the center yesterday I had to make my husband stop and let me walk around a parking lot because it was so bad. I am getting rid of it by walking which makes me belch.

Hope you are feeling better.

I was banded on 5/23 and still get lots of gas. I find the hot water bottle helps a lot. My surgeon also prescribed prevacid that dissolves in Water. Let's see if that helps.

I was banded in mid April and still have way more gas than I used to. Maybe all the high Protein foods I'm eating? Anyway... I'm just learning to live with it!
