akwright68 114 Posted February 19, 2013 I was banded the 15th as well. I thought i had been lucky with no gas pains, just sore. Well today was my first day back to work and I sit too much. The compression of my stomach really brought on the pain and the gas pains have come on strong tonight. I have been walking all night, but still in pain. Its going to be a long week. I should have taken more time off. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
