allielee 263 Posted October 3, 2008 Hey there.. first off congrats on getting banded. The gas pain goes away I lived on gas x strips for the first week. It is amazing how much gas can hurt! You have taken the first step to a new you! I have kept a little journal of this process and it is so energizing to look back and see how much I have changed just not physically. God Bless.

Renae9502 0 Posted October 3, 2008 Hi there, I had my surgery on Monday too. I have to agree with you, I had no idea that the gas pain would be so bad. Today does seem to be a little better though, thank goodness! Just wanted to say hi. Good luck to you! HOpe we are both pain-free very soon! Renae Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

gigim 8 Posted October 3, 2008 Hello, I had my surgery on monday as well, I have gas, stomach pain, bloating and I am also very sore, sometimes I am bent over until i walk for a while. I am not having any problems with getting some of the liquids in but I am not able to drink all that is required. Also I have not had a bowel movement either. I heard all of this gets better in another week or so... Hang in there, just wanted to say I have the same issues... Gigi:drool: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
