Skinny, I've lost 110 lbs. since I was banded in August. I eat less, sleep better, play harder, work out 3-4 times a week instead of sitting on the couch and watching tv, party like a rock star and bang like a porn star. My house is cleaner, projects are actually getting done. Hell yes I'd do it again. My only regret is that I couldn't do it years ago.

Awesome! Love it.

Yeah, I've been getting them too. It happens when I feel like I need to burp, but nothing comes out, then the esoph, gets jumpy.

It is happening much less now.

Thanks for the info Dana. I've made my appointment there too.

Yeah, I walk a lot. In fact I was at the store walking after I'd just gotten off work, where I walk a lot when the gas storm hit.

It just kept getting worse, so I took the extra strength gas X, two of them, and 800 mg ibuprophen.

The heating pad kept me from pulling out every hair on my head.

Today seems to be better. I took the gas x before I had issues, and none have popped up as of yet.

whew.

I was walking around a store, then noticed I was having a bad attack of the chest pain gas I've come to know as of late. By the time I got home, I felt like I was dying. Here is something I found that helped while waiting for the Gas-X and ibuprophen to kick in....the wonderful heating pad! I was just about fetal and found that the heating pad really did help.

I so hope these go away soon.
