been there, done that
I had Lapband about 3 weeks ago. I felt like caca for about 5 days. turns out I was dehydrated. I had to go to ER for fluids. Day 6, I felt like a new woman. That pain you are feeling is gas. It will go away completely in about 2 weeks. that pain when you breathe is normal. The gas-x did help it go away faster. Also, rub your stomach clock-wise for a few minutes a couple of times a day too.
Your are not having bowel movements probably due to lack of solids and the pain meds. Use a suppository if you are really worried about it. I actually had horrible diarrhea for the first 4 days which contributed to the dehydration. I felt like I was dying with nausea, gas pains, weakness and dizziness. The fluid was the trick. They make you so paranoid about sipping water that I wasn't really getting much in. Now I just take regular sips, no gulping though.
