24 hrs since operation. Not feeling too hot. Lots of incision pain at the bellybutton. Sipping Water every so often but gas pain is bothersome. Any remedies?

drink, walk , heating pad and take your pain meds... also make sure in a few days if you haven't had a bm take a laxative, milk of mag worked for me.. otherwise get plenty of rest , don't worry about anything else but healing.. it does get better just takes time...

I was banded on Monday. I too am having a lot of bloating and gas. Ive taken mylicon but just seems like gas wont move. I haven't taken any pain meds but gave in and took some a few minutes ago. I don't "hurt" im just very sore

Lots of people take gasx for the gas but the CO2 is placed in the abdominal cavity not into the intestines so I dont see how the gasx remedies would work. What worked for me was walking....movement gets the gas moving and I had very little discomfort from the CO2.
