How long after the surgery does the bloating go down?

I got banded on the 10/1/13 and I'm extremely bloated. I know that they fill you with gas during the surgery so I was just wondering how long it takes for the bloating to go down?

You got banded on 10/1 or 1/1? I only was bloated and having gas pains for about four days. I have had no issues after that. I returned to work and have been great! I was banded on 12/11/12. 23 lbs down. I got my first fill on Thursday.

I was banded 2 days ago, so hopefully like you the bloating will dissipate after 4-5 days. Congratulations on your weight loss, here's hoping I follow suit

It took me about a week for it to all go away, including the gas pains in the shoulder.

I was banded on 1/14 and while the bloating has mostly dissipated, I'm still having gas especially at night and have the pain between my shoulders. I was beginning to think that this was unusual. I see my surgeon for a followup on Monday. I have what feels like single hiccups during the night which I think is my system trying to burp. Wish it would figure out there is another way out of my stomach.

I was banded 11/1/13. I didn't have any shoulder pain but I'm still a bit bloated and windy 8 days after the op, but its greeting less and less - I feel so much better
