allysonwhitt 35 Posted July 19, 2013 I am having some pretty rough cramps and gas pain. I had my first fill on Wednesday. Is this normal? No I am not getting my period. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GuyMontag 1,264 Posted July 19, 2013 From a fill? That makes sense after surgery but I don't know how a fill would cause gas. Maybe it's something you ate? If I have trouble after a fill it's with getting stuck. No gas or cramping that I can remember. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SashaWLS 412 Posted July 19, 2013 I get gas pains on and off. I think there's something about the way swallow that makes me trap air under the band. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ivy Verde 68 Posted July 19, 2013 Been checked for symptoms of gastritis, by any chance? I developed gastritis while banded and it caused the most intense cramping. Really painful. I feel for you. There are some medications that can help. Dexilant is one. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
allysonwhitt 35 Posted July 19, 2013 Ivy, what is gastritis? I am going to a gastro doctor on Wednesday with a lot of questions. It is really painful! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
allysonwhitt 35 Posted July 20, 2013 Spoke to my doctor last night and he thinks t is all lower gas pains. He said it can be very painful and it is. He recommended getting Beano for the lower gas pain. Hope it works! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
LeeB1946 261 Posted July 20, 2013 I still get some gas and I think it might be from eating too fast or swallowing too big of a bite. Never had a stuck but sometimes I forget to chew chew chew before I swallow. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
