I was banded on 10/17, I'm having pain/tightness in my upper back, shoulders,& neck. I'm also having a lot of burping/more like air pockets that i can feel rising up its can be pretty painful.

I did clear liquid for 3 days & have now added Protein Shakes to it also, all together I only drink about 3-4 cups of liquid a day I have taken mylanta for the gas but maybe I should switch to gas x.

any help will be greatly appreciated.

Ok it sounds like you are having a lot of gas. Are you walking. YOu have to move and walk to get it all out. It's going to take up to a few weeks everyone is different. Also it's a good idea to try a different medication for gas. gas X just may work. Good Luck

You need to walk more to get rid of the gas.

You probably still have the gas they used to expand your abdomin trapped in.. mine lingered for over a week.. it will feel like you need to burp but it's pressure in your body cavity on your esphogas, not coming up from your stomach. It really helped getting up and moving around to help that gas dissipate. it's likely not due to what you are eating.

These are all normal symptoms and will pass in another week or two. Gas X is suppose to help but I think walking is what really helped me and don't use a straw it can cause more gas and bloating.

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.

      I would like to know what questions you wish you had asked prior to your duodenal switch surgery?
