Hunger Pain Or Gas???

[jrockwood 7]

I was banded Nov 7 and have since felt like I have a constant bubble stuck under my ribs almost like I am severely hungry. Has anyone else experienced this? Does it go away? When I burp it relives the pain for about 5 seconds then it is back.

I was banded w plication on the ninth and have the same thing going on. Not sure if its hunger or gas either! I'm thinking gas since the gasx strips makes it better! Good luck!

Hunger usually isn't painful. This sounds like gas. Maalox worked very well for me.

Sounds like gas. Walk alot and windmill your arms. This stage will pass.
