Gas Pains

[sweetpea0202 0]

Hello,

I've been banded for over a week now and I pretty much have no incision pains, but I do have a lot of gas pains. At first they were in my back and now they have moved to my left side. The left side gas pains started Monday night and it was soo bad that I almost shedded some tears. I had to leave work early Tuesday because I could barely stand up straight. I've took the gas-x strips and they really didn’t help. I'm now taking Mylanta and its ok but i can still feel the pains trying to start.

Are there any other gas meds that you guys have used for relief? What did y'all do to get through the gas pains. I don't think my poor left side can’t take anymore shooting gas pain....its sore now.:thumbup:

Have you called your doc's office? It really shouldn't still be bothering you, and shouldn't have traveled like that. Better safe than sorry!

Debski's probably right, but call your surgeon anyway, to be sure, ok?
