Gas Pain In Right Side After Lap Band Surgery

[newlady1 67]

I have what I think is a gas pocket/pain on my right side. It's been there for a couple of weeks. Has anyone experienced that? It's not a sharp pain, but an annoying pain. And anytime I eat, I get really gassy. I have a doctors appointment tomorrow to get my 3rd fill. I will consult him too. I was just wondering if there is anyone that might have some advice.

Try a heating pad on it. That helped me a lot. Have you used any kind of Gas X or something like it? Sometimes it's referred pain and not really gas at all. Just like when people have pain down their arms or jaw before a heart attack. Their jaw or arm is not having a heart attack. It's referred pain from their heart. My Dr says this is common. It will eventually go away. Hope this helps and blessings on your new weight loss journey.

Blessings,
