Getting the gas out!

[Deed2u 26]

Hi Everyone! I was banded this Monday May 6th. I came home same day and violently threw up Monday night. On Tuesday the pain in my abdomen was severe... I also started to bloat. I called the dr and they readmitted me for ILEUS. I never heard of this. As a result I had to have a NG tube inserted thru my nose down to my stomach for two days for the gas to release. I am home now (late Thursday) and need all the help I can get to get this gas out of me... Anyhelp will be appreciated. Walking has given me some relief but not enough.

I was banded on Monday too. So sorry to hear you had such problems. The gas didn't bother me until today and it's very worrisome. I'm having a hard time swallowing Water even. Walking helps me a bit too, but you can't walk all day. Hope you get some relief.

Gas can be very painful. Try gas-x strips or chewables and walk walk walk and then walk some more. Sorry there is no easy way . some people also use heating pads just make sure you do not fall asleep with it on.

Wow. I'm sorry for your experience. I was banded on Monday as well. I just usea hot water bottle on my back. Have my boyfriend massage & beat lightly on my back & walk while moving my arms.
