Gas after eating

[stacyjo615 2]

I was banded 6 weeks ago, and had my first fill almost 3 weeks ago. Since my fill I have noticed that every time I eat, no matter what it is, I get gas. It's not uncomfortable, but it's kind of embarassing. Is anyone else experiencing this?

unfortunately gas is a permenant part of being banded. We all have it. I have had it for three years. I just take gas ex or beano before I eat which seems to help.

I passed a lot of gas in the beginning because the toxins were getting out of my body and tissues...now not so much however I get very constipated and now need to address that issue..

Can someone tell me why banding causes so much gas?! It's so annoying to me!

The other thing is that we have to learn to eat slower and smaller bits. Also when drinking, smaller sips. It is hard to learn and you will get lots of air in you while you are trying to accomplish this. I also burped a lot! It does get better, but I am nearly a year out and it hasn't gone away totally!

I didn't realize the scale of this issue when I first signed up. It's annoying and sometimes embarrassing. I've recently made it a point to let people know about it so they're prepared. Gawd!

Reminds me of Peter Griffin vs Michael Moore. Click if you dare:
