You could probably categorize this under "fun bodily functions" as well. I am a giant ball of gas. Oh, the joy. I know this is normal, although I hope it gets better as my body gets used to the band, because while it might be normal, it's not exactly fun.
However, here's my newest symptom. After I ate today, I got these sharpish pains in my mid-region. They felt surprisingly like gas pains, so I kinda pushed on the area that was hurting, and much to my amazement, I felt and heard bubbles move. Lots and lots of bubbles. I couldn't tell if they were going down or up; I imagine up. But then the pain was gone. If you can shed some light on this, I'd be appreciative!
Hi Amy - I know you said you got a pretty aggressive fill this week, so that may be causing it. I know in the past when I've gotten a big fill I had some gas for a few days(maybe from the swelling). If who've got gas-x take some and see if it helps. We're all different so obviously call the Dr. if you're concerned, but it's amazing how much gas can hurt.
ReplyDeleteHow funny, I havent experienced too much extra gas but every once in a while I will let out a HUGE burp, out of nowhere? Hmmm....I guess it come with the territory ;)
ReplyDeleteI hate to tell you this, but I feel like post band I'm significantly more gassy! Often times (and this is gross) it doesn't smell, but I make noise! Good luck. xoxo
ReplyDeleteWow...that must of been weird. No idea what it is although my stomach gargles alot now and it is embarrassing in the tea room!!! Glad your DR is accomodating and hope this fill gets your to the spot
ReplyDeleteToot! Toot! I know when I worked as a nurse we always told our patients to let it out if you can. Some rooms were hard to enter because of the smell, but the patient certainly felt better. So go ahead and toot and burp all you want.
