Thank you Dr. Cavazos !!

hi...
congrats on being banded. bloat is completely normal, they pump you full of gas when they operate. you may also be having 'gas pains', thats normal too.

I am I am I am!!! And I'm all gassy and gargly and gross. My stomach feels like there is a bunch of liquid in it and it's heavy. Ugh. When will it go away!!!

best thing for gas is to walk walk walk.... it will go away, sorry - no specific timeline.

good luck!

Banded 5 days ago 03/03/08, I would feel "normal" if it weren't for the painful bloating. I'll sit on the pot thinking I will get rid of the whole load (hope this is not too much info) and it will only dribble and spew a blurp of gas. The rest of the gas ball kind of gurgles and goes elsewhere in my belly. If I could just let a good one rip I would feel SOOOOOO much better! My eating is going great. I made an excell spreadsheet checklist I keep on the kitchen cabinets to track my proteins, water , vitamins, fat etc. I haven't been hungry at all yet!

I was banded three days ago, Elk Hunter. My experience is very like you describe.
