ShayDee 0 Posted June 24, 2007 It's probably the swelling that's making your stomach do that. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
cattiff 1 Posted June 24, 2007 Hi Jen, I was banded on Monday June 18th and yes the swelling is from the gas....I still have some gas but it is better. My stomach looked like your too but today it is a little less swollen. Just bare with it it will pass and you will enjoy the weight loss. Best of luck.
