Surgery Tomorrow 7-27-10



Recommended Posts

Hello everyone! My surgery day is tomorrow and I have a quick question for all the post-op people on here that had gas afterwards. What worked best to relieve the gas pains after surgery? I am already a gassy person and Im afraid mine will be really bad. :blushing:Sorry to be so blunt.PLEASE comment back with any help you have to offer. Thanks in advance.

Walking! When you get out of surgery, walk as much as you can. That is the best thing for the gas. I had surgery last Wednesday, and i still have a little gas, but it gets better every day.

when I had surgery, I was told GasX chewables. I was popping them like M&M's. They did little to relieve the gas, but as someone said...the walking did!!!! and so did my heating pad. Good luck! Welcome to bandland

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.
