puddin 7 Posted September 16, 2005 I'm sitting here laughing my head off at your posts! I SO wish I had that problem. I've been banded 5 days now and can't get the gas OUT of my body! It just roams around like it's got nothing better to do. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

giveyouthemoon 4 Posted September 17, 2005 man Im lucky in this respect-I dont have gas issues thankfully.Id be horrified-lol. alatina...honey. The time has come in your life to JUST let one rip. It will forever liberate you. Part of having a band means some air is gonna get in there and burps are actually *essential*. I mean, when something feels sort of stuck, being able to burp often breaks it loose and I avoid a PB. Also, gas is normal. No, you don't need to stand in the middle of the living room and let 'er rip, but girl, you GOT TO LET THAT OUT! I'm worried. You see, they fill you up with air to do the surgery and that air HAS TO GET OUT. Otherwise there could be some very painful consequences. (edited to say I just read you were banded back in April...but still.....let the gas out! Embrace your body. Embrace your bodily functions. It's okay, really!

NJChick 3 Posted September 17, 2005 I'm a walking wind bag NOW !!!! so do you mean to tell me it's gonna get worse after I'm banded? Shall I take out some more home insurance? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

MerryHearted 20 Posted September 22, 2005 What I want to know is -- does the liquid poop stage ever end? Seriously, it's a looooong walk from my office to the bathroom at work, and sometimes I barely make it. Then the blatting as it all comes out is horrific, you know how acoustics are in big tiled bathrooms. I wonder if half the building can hear it. Really -- someone tell me that once I'm fully switched to solids that the liquid poop stage will end... a little gas I can handle, esp burping, but this?!!!
