First fill

[TracyW]

Hi Everyone,

I just had my first fill, that same day I started having lots of bloating and gas. I am not having any problems eating or drinking, I have also tried gas-x but its not working yet. I spoke with Dr. Martinez today, he says since I'm not having problems with food or drinks the band should loosen a little as I lose weight or I might need a slight unfill. Has anyone experienced this problem? What did you do?

Thank you,

TracyW

Walking works the best for getting out the gas. I get some trapped gas too after my fills around my port area for a day or two afterwards. WALK WALK WALK!!!

Hi Tracy - this isn't a response - it's a question... I"m just wondering how much of a fill you had? I'm going for my first fill on Monday, June 20th ... am definitely not looking forward to bloating and gas! I hope you feel lots better, soon!
