banded 12/26. The gas pain is intolerable, even with walking - from 2am til 5am this morning did not help. I am fust starting now to release a minor part of the gas. Question, I see everyone recommends GasX and I've been taling the strips and chewables. how much should i take per day? It has 4 pills or 8 strils but it's not working!! Thanks

Keep taking the Gas-X but no more than the recommended amount. I was banded on 11/1 and the gas pains were unbearable for me for 9 days. Then one day they were simply gone! Hang in there. They should disappear any day now. I had my kids pat me on the back to help me burp. Hey, I did it for them when they were babies! Also, walk around a lot, even in the house. Sometimes, I would sit on the floor and rock side to side to loosen the gas. It helped. You'll feel better soon.

I completely agree with Kacee!!! I was banded on the 26th and haven't had to use one gasx strip. My heating pad has become my best friend. I use it whenever I have the chance and I believe it's probably the reason why I haven't had gas pains.

Good Luck!!

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.

      I would like to know what questions you wish you had asked prior to your duodenal switch surgery?
