Got home from hospital today-YEAH!

And all seems to be going well. But- I am curious about how long the "gas" issues typically go.  I have had abdominal gas since the surgery (from the inflation gas).  But I've had little burps all along as well- and boy are they uncomfortable!

i was actually able to start normal "passing" of gas this morning with some significant rief coming from that.  Still- any advice?

I walked and belched and far..passed gasmail for a good week.

you could try some gas x strips and see if that helps and just keep sipping on your water...only time will get rid of all that gas both in your abdominal cavity and in your actual stomach...usually by the end of the first week you should be all set and more comfortable. 

Highest Wt: 264, band May '05, pre sleeve wt 235, current 189, personal goal 140

I usually find heating pads on my stomach helps with gas.
