alwayscurious 0 Posted October 13, 2007 I was banded yesterday a 7:30 a.m. I am feeling different than I thougt I would. My tummy is making the most strange sounds it has ever made. So much gurggling. It hurts sometimes. Sometimes no pain at all. I have not needed pain meds. Just reg. Tylenol has been o.k. The thought of having to drink Protein fluids is kinda making me naseaous. I know some people have mentioned gas-x. Is that for treating external gases that are being released (burping/farting) Or is that to calm all of this gurgling or gasses? Thanks to everyone who offered support in my hours of need before the surgery. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I was on Clear Liquids only the first week and really the first week , espically the first few days I was not hungry . So I would maybe just try sipping on Water constantly . Keep yourself hydrated. The gas x is for the pain that you might have from the gas pains due to the surgery . Or the air being expanded in your abdomen. If your feeling any pain in your chest or shoulders you might need some gas x. Good luck , Feel free to IM me if you need anything Mindy Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

stacy73 2 Posted October 13, 2007 I took the gas x a couple times a day in the first week- now I take it once a day in the morning with my other meds just to keep my stomach calm-seems to be working so far Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
