Post op troubles



Recommended Posts

I got banded July 21st and I am having some post op pain. I am extremely sore from all the gas in my cavity and I feel like I have to burp every time I eat or drink. I do not burp which makes it more uncomfortable. I am pretty sure all is still okay from the procedure b/c I have not vomited and can keep some solids down. Anyone have any tips on getting rid of the gas? Walking helps some and gas-x does not help at all. From what i've read, time is the only thing that will help. Also, i hiccup every now and then and it is very uncomfortable. Is that normal?

For me it turns out that that feeling like an air bubble is stuck and you have to burp means you have eaten to much. That is your new "full Feeling" especially if you are on cream type Soups. So FYI :)

I am 3 days post op. I have not vomited. I just feel bloated. Still very tender. I find it hard getting in and out of bed. But so far so good.

I'm on day 4 post-op. Went back to work today, which may have been jumping the gun a bit! I had gas trapped under my ribs ALL day. Had to leave work early due to the pain. Gas-x didn't relieve it, walking didn't help. Just had to wait til it passed. I've had a lot of hiccups too and they do hurt quite a bit!

      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.

      I would like to know what questions you wish you had asked prior to your duodenal switch surgery?
