You are 10 days ahead of me on this journey, but I am feeling the same way. When I lean back or lie down, my stomach makes all sorts of noises. I keep saying I don't feel hungry, but that's because my stomach always feels weird and inflated and uncomfortable so I can't tell if it's hunger or not. But like you said, it doesn't go away when I drink anything. My daughter recommended Gas-X but that doesn't seem to make any difference either.

Hi Judy, I was banded on the 12th by dr. Ortiz. I am having a very gassy, bloated, unconfortable day. GasX doesn't work for me either. Walking seems to help a little. I was better yesterday. Does anyone have any suggestions to help us?

I was banded on Sept. 25. I did not have gas at first enough to bother me. 3rd week, gas and bloated started. I called nurse (had mine done in Little Rock, Arkansas.) She said stop all milk and carbonated products. I also drank three swigs of Milk of Magnesia. They told me to take this after I had had the surgery the first few days to help with gas so......if it helped then I thought maybe it will help now. IT DID. I spent the evening running to the bathroom but gas was gone by morning. Now I am being very careful what I eat. I looked up foods that cause gas on internet. I was eating more food this last week.

Judy. I too have had gas and bloating also. I keep Milk of Magnesia handy. The first time I felt like I was very gassy I took 3 swigs and then spent the rest of the evening with diarreia. It did solve the problem though. It was not a bad experience just had to stay close to the bathroom. I had drank a route 44 diet cherry limeade from Sonic. I also had had a root beer float. Now I still drink a diet coke occasionally but not two in one day or a route 44.

I forgot to add I have not been hungry once OR it has been so long since I felt hunger that I do not know what it feels like anymore. I eat three times a day because I want to. I still look forward to meals but each time I sit down to eat I cannot eat it all. Something happens about 10 minutes into the meal. I look at the food and I think well I guess I am done. I get a to go container if I am at a restaurant and think I will eat it later. That has worked wonderful. I have eaten half of what I ate before and I have not had a fill yet. That comes next week.
