Having Some Discomfort



Recommended Posts

Was banded in May 2013 and have had several fills, my last fill was about a month ago. About two weeks ago I began feeling really bloated and so gassy. I have a lot of discomfort. Anyone have any thoughts or suggestions. My diet has not changed in that period of time. Protein first then veggies and I chew, chew, chew.

Have you tried gas X? If it's still really bothering you, then I'd call your doc.

How about calling your doctor -- maybe you need a slight unfill if you've had several since May?

SIMPLE...GAS-X It is my savior. I had not had a fill in like 2 months and had like no restriction. BUT I was getting gas pains from certain foods. Then I discovered Gas-X and OMG it is AMAZING!! haha. I would try that before you go getting a unfill. I feel much better now. If I feel it coming on, I chew a pill and within a few minutes I feel relief. I recently got a fill and the gas pains were more extreme...used my Gas-X and problem solved. Best of luck!! Let us know what you do and or what happens!!

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞
