NurseLydsss 59 Posted October 1, 2012 I got banded 3 days ago...and no pain except for the gas thing....That's my biggest complaints....so my mom suggested I take 10cc of Milk of Mag.mixed in about 30cc of hot water....I did it, and boy did I get rid of a lot of gas.....I tried the gas-X but it did not work well for me. or you can also try boiling garlic with cloves....and drink as tea....that help as well with passing the gas....I had a much better day today then yesterday......Hope that helps, good luck!!!
