Yes, it's from the gas that was pumped into your abdominal cavity during surgery.

Try a heating pad. Walk as much as you can because it will help your body reabsorb it faster.

Best wishes.

Yes, its normal.

The gas will start coming out eventually and you will feel relief.

For me walking and drinking warm liquids was the best remedy .

Good luck and feel better soon.

How are you doing with your first week? We were banded the same day.

Even after I couldn't feel the gas anymore I still felt that way for awhile - I didn't know it was still gas but it was. It does get better. Hang in there!!
