Alaskanband 5 Posted March 10, 2014 I had a fill done last Wednesday. I have been having a lot of gas since. Is this due to the gill? Is it normal? Is there a cure? It's a bit much. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jamilyne 102668 1,207 Posted March 10, 2014 I've only had one fill, but I don't remember being gassy, but it's possible. Do you have any gas/x strips? They might help, if not you can call the dr and let them know you are having a little trouble. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kll724 3,055 Posted March 10, 2014 Possibly, have you been eating food? My surgeon always had us drinking liquids for 4 days following a fill due to swelling. But, I can't advise that that is the trouble. Try some gas-x, and if that isn't helpful check with the surgeon's office. Karen Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Leepers 1,195 Posted March 10, 2014 I have a theory that the tighter that band gets, the less air can escape upwards and come out as a burp. I hardly burp at all. Therefore, the gas must go down and out the other way. I have been much more gassy since my band. But, I'm eating so healthy it doesn't really smell like it used to. Sorry if that's TMI. Lol. 2 Rockagal and Lady VS reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
