gas and bloating

[bizyrn 0]

I am postop day 3 after my band and the only pain I have is where my port is. Does everyone experience the bloating (it is so uncomfortable) and the gas is awful. What does everyone else do if this happens to them. After I eat I just feel like I ate way to much, but on the other hand I am so weak and have no energy. Any suggestions from any one sure would be great. Thanks bizy:unsure:

I am going on day 5 of post operation and I also have problems with the bloating and the gas. From other posts on here it sounds like that is very normal. A couple posts reccomended GasX. I have not tried it yet as I feel like I am already taking as much pills as I can handle. If it continues I am going to try it. Have a safe and speedy recovery.

I didn't want to take any more pills either, but the gas discomfort was awful. Gas-X makes a thin strip that has worked great. I'm on day 4 and starting to feel a little less bloated.

I had very bad gas pains for about a week after then they really cleared up. that's also when I started to get alot of energy back. I used the gas x strips which were somewhat helpful. I also started take vitaband chewable vitamins about a week after which helped to make sure I was geting the nutrients.
