is my band broken?

[Jessie45 1]

I'm like a colicky baby! every day from 4pm-11pm I have horrible gas pain followed by uncontrollable burping....Sometimes it even hurts to lay down. I've had this pain for the last 2 months. The burping is loud and kinda in the back of my throat. It drives my husband crazy and sometimes it takes me about an hour to fall asleep.

anyone having the same thing happen? any Ideas of what I can do? I've tried gas x and tums...NOTHING!!! Help me!

What do you eat for lunch? What do you drink throughout the day?

I haven't been banded yet, but my daughter has. She had the gas problem pretty significantly for quite awhile. She still does but not as bad, although still has episodes if she overdoes herself. She finally got a script for it, which has helped tremendously but she forgets to take it. Also at nightime, she has to be very careful about not eating even remotely close to going to bed or she can't sleep. The food hasn't had a chance to digest from the pouch and makes it hard for her to breath. She also has started buying raw milk which is loaded with nutrients and that has seemed to help her also. She just has like a cup of it a day.

But clearly something you're eating in the middle of the day is causing problems if it's at the same time every day...maybe a lighter lunch.

Good luck
