Banded on Friday the 13th

Feel very well, except for this gas!!! Can anyone tell me how long this will last?

Ready to begin the rest of my life feeling better.

I was banded on 2/25 and had the referred pain from gas off and on for about a week. It sure does hurt. It does go away though, in time. I empathize. Carlene G.

oh my gas was HORRIBLE! it was awfully painful, i am 5 days post op and the horrible pain was days 2&3 after surgery, after i PUKED co2 gas up i felt much better, but i still have bad shoulder pain and some gas, but it's tolerable.

I was banded on 3/14. I'm experiencing those gas pains too, but it helps to walk around the house.

The best way to get rid of the gas is movement. I know you probably don't feel like walking but if you do you will feel so much better so much faster. I slowly walked starting the day of surgery & it helped. Even if you can only walk slow, I promise it will help. Good luck

I was also banded on Friday the 13th. I'm a little sore but have very bad gas pains in my stomach. I have been walking. Good luck.

I was banded Feb 5, and had a TON of gas also! Hated it, but my surgeon suggested GasX, and of course walking. I would recommend the gas X that you can get which melts in your mouth...that way, nothing can get stuck!

just a quick note, i am 2 weeks out and the shoulder pain has stopped! i thought it would never end, but it did stop so i am all better now! i hope yours stops also!
