Ceparano 0 Posted March 21, 2006 Hi Sparkling, I'm not banded yet (hopefully April 17th). From what I have read on other threads, Gas x is highly recommended, as well as heating pads. They say the bloating will go away soon. I'm so excited for you and your new beginning. I wish you much success. Take it easy and don't do too much. Just let your body have time to heal. See you on the other side. Roberta Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
NeenBand 7 Posted March 22, 2006 Hi Sparkling. I have to admit, the gas is probably worse than anything else. (If you have it bad) Everyone says heating pads and gas x is the trick. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Morsaille 4 Posted March 22, 2006 Once it lets go and starts to dissipate you just might want the bloatedness back! Keep walking and the heating pad helps to relax the tightness making burping easier with less discomfort. It goes the other way too, so enjoy. Do anything soothing, like tea, or a good book (between walks). It came as a surprise most of the time at first in the form of a semi-painful hiccup. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
PhotoNut 7 Posted March 22, 2006 Welcome home and welcome to Bandland, Sparkling! I agree with everyone else's posts. The more you move around the faster you'll begin to feel better. Sounds like you're doing well. Be sure to drink as much Water as you can.. small sips though. Don't rush it, just keep consistent about drinking through the day. It's important to stay hydrated. Keep us posted on how you're doing. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sunta 5 Posted March 23, 2006 I suffered terribly from gas for two weeks. One hour after cutting out dairy, I felt 90% better and have remained so ever since... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
puddin 7 Posted March 23, 2006 Gas is the worest!!!! The best thing is walk and the heating pad....GasX didn't do anything for me. (But that was for me) The heating pad was the best. Good Luck - This is the worest of it!!! Gas X didn't do a thing for me, either! It only slightly helped after a couple weeks and I had gas in my intestines. Gas X won't help referred shoulder pain and gas pain in your abdomen. Walking and heating pads and ridding myself of fruit juices was the only thing that helped for me.
