DBRN1972 37 Posted October 30, 2012 I was banded on 10/26/12 and just started experiencing this horrible gas pain yesterday. Nothing helps! I almost regret doing this. Someone please tell me this will end soon. I'm so frustrated and can't even have a glass of Moscato like I normally would. Help please!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Banjo257 920 Posted October 30, 2012 I hope you feel better soon. Will you explain the gas pains? Are they in the chest, lije you need to burp or in the abdomen like cramps? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jlynn217 54 Posted October 30, 2012 Banjo the gas piano I believe she is referring to is the gas the surgeon fills you with during surgery trying to exit your body. Not like a gas bubble you would developer from say a need to toot 1 Lbreaux38 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Nevara 26 Posted October 30, 2012 Hot shower. Aim the spray where it hurts. It should help. Hang in there. And walk some more if you can Becky/26yrsold/Idaho. Band Date Nov. 5. 248/goal 165. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

cheryl2586 3,053 Posted October 30, 2012 It helped me to warm up some apple juice and fruit punch and put a tea bag in it. They gave this to me at the hospital and called it toot juice. It helped heaps. It will get better but it might take a while. You have to walk. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
2012 359 Posted October 30, 2012 It was about 5 days for me, but walking definitely helps, you have to work the gas out of your body that they pumped in you during surgery. Some say heating pad works too. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
