Third day after surgery



Recommended Posts

THis is my third day after surgery and I am feeling much better than yesterday but still having some pain deep inside. It feels like hunger pains is this possible?

It's possible, but if you're not sure if it's hunger, it's probably not :) My stomach did all sorts of funky things the couple of weeks after surgery. When you start to get hungry again, it'll feel like the hunger you're used to, and you'll know it for sure.

I am also 3 days post op and what I believe I am experiencing is gas pain. Leftover co2 from surgery.

I had my surgery on Friday and know what you mean. It sorta feels like hunger, but then I stand up or shift positions and it starts to feel full. Just take another sip of liquid and it should go away. Good luck!

I am 6 days out, and agree. I think I'm hungry. Sometimes I think it could just be the left over Co2 from the surgery and that's probably part of it as I'm still burping like crazy. I'm trying to ignore it, but it's not easy. I keep a Protein Shake with me and it helps, but not for long. I'm thinking I want to start on soft foods, because I think I need to, but I'm afraid of getting off course and this whole thing not working. I see my DR in a week, and I think I'm going to beg him for my first fill as soon as possible to see if that helps.

      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.
