I had surgery on March 4 2013. Having severe gas pains and fill so full can't burp. Help! I am new on this site, just join a few hours ago. My name is Mercy and I'm 53yrs. I really would like to have friends who can share with me and give my positive encouraging words. I opted to have surgery after researching for 2yrs making sure this is the tool I would use to have and live longer. I previously had tasted the hard and enduring work of loosing 100 plus pounds. But after a severe car accident I was left partially immobile. I try to put in the hard Work I had done before but after 3 back surgeries I was not the same. I find myself secure with the decision I made to have the surgery and I can tell you that prepping for it was not an easy task for me. However I am optimistic and are committed and understand the discipline it's needed. What I did not know is how I was going to feel just days after. I was ready for pain, for lil portions, limitations and schedules and even though I've had other surgeries have never had gas problems after surgery nor the feeling of being stuffed. I haven't sleep we'll since I had the iv with pain med and now what was given to me can't help with gases or the feeling of being over full. I've try gas ex, teas, walking, and lots of crying last night and that's how I found this site. My hubby and family are very supportive but I need to be around people who understand me. People that don't think I opted surgery as a chicken exit, for it truly is not if anything it takes more dedication then I have ever had. I know God open the doors for me and its He who sustains me. But I need new friends. Won't you be mine.

Way to go its good to hear all the people that are around my age are choosing like me to live longer

You motivate me. Many blessings

I am so happy for you. Many blessings. I'm still battling gas pain and that over full in my throat

I having lots of gas pains, fill like I have the liquids in my throat?

My honey was able to stay with me, but I guess it depends on your hospital. I'll tell you he was wonderful support and although I had a wonderful hospital. My hubby was able to help me ASAP when I needed it. Lots of peeing that's for sure. Walk as much as possible. When drinking sip really....really slowly and use a spoon or those one cupies where the MEDS are given.
