Sugery 12/28/09 Needs Help...with some questions



Recommended Posts

Hi I just had my surgery done on the 28th of December and for the most part things went well. I was able to walk around and have managed to stay away from taking pain medicine all day today. But I've been having some pain when I have air/burp comes up is that normal it is discomforting for a few seconds. I been taking Gas X to see if it would help. I hope this will soon go away any advice on what's going on would be very helpful....Thank you in advance for helping me out

When I had that feeling it helped to lean back or arc my back over a chair.

I was banded on the 12-16-09 and I had the same pains. It is just gas. They fill you full of air when they do the surgery. It has to come out some way. I burped all mine out. Walking helped so much. The more I walked the more I burped and the better it felt. It lasted about a week for me. I am 2 weeks out and I feel great! I feel a lot better than I did just a week out! Hang in there it gets better!!!

My doc encouraged me to take the pain medication and to get out and get walking immediately. On the third day, my family took me to an aquarium with his permission. It really did help to get the gas out of there. Maybe you should keep taking the meds for a couple of days so that you can feel comfortable enough to walk some. Hope you feel better soon.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
