Been 2 weeks post-op but why do I still have so much gas??

I was banded 2 weeks ago today.  From day one gas has been an issue.  I have tried everything and some things work (like beano, gas-ex) but either not so great or not for too long.  I switched over to Lactaid.  I'm on mushies now  and haven't been eating anything gassy.  I've been constipated, had diarhea and normal...still gassy.  I know they fill you with gas during the surgery but I'd think by now it would be gone.  Will I be like this forever??  Yes its a gross topic, but someone out there has been there I'm sure!!

Its an ongoing problem I'm afraid....I think its because the band causes wind to get trapped. It does get a bit better after a while, but doesn't go away, sorry!

I am 3 weeks out, and the gas is starting to get better... I also take gas x and it doesn't seem to work for me either... Good luck

Thanks for the response.  I bought something called "Multi-Enzyme Formula" at GNC.  It has a bunch of enzymes like papaya, pinapple and lactace plus acidophilus.  It's supposed to help digest protien, carbs and fat.  Don't want to jinx...but it helped a little.  I'm gassy tonight probably from eating too late.
