Hey all, I'v had a band fitted yesterday in Birmingham and im having chest pains since. The nurses said it's trapped gas but it's so painful! Has anyone else had this problem?

Hi Debs

I'm still pre-op so don't have first hand experience but from the posts I've read, many people do get these pains.

Welcome to the forum xx

I had a Gastric Bypass last Tuesday I am still suffering pain in the Chest, back, shoulders the lot the more I move about the more it eases and I nibble the odd chewable Rennie or have some infacol liquid both help ease the trapped wind.

Nearly a week later and you still have it??
:(. I do have rennies so I'll try them and I'll get some gripe water tomorrow. Anything to help it, it's so painful! Thanks

Not as bad as it was but the occasional one still catches me. Should be moving round more to ease it as that helps but as I had the bypass op rather than the band, longer op more gas for longer etc etc I'm still easily wiped out.

Glad it's relieving but I hope you recover fully soon! Didn't realise these ops created so much gas!
