No I haven't experienced them because I'm doing everything to prevent the pain. Walking and drinking the mint tea. I'm burping alot- actually it's coming out both ends. Are u having this experience?

Where does all the gas come from? I know they blow up our abdomens during the surgery, but that went away, along with the shoulder pain that was totally excrutiating... Now, if I try to drink any of the allowed Clear Liquids, I feel like all that gas comes right back and my entire abdomen is about to explode. I can't even drink 4 oz of Water.

4 days post op and wondering if I made a big mistake :(

The first few days after surgery, when I'd drink my stomach would feel very bloated and I had tummy gas that I couldn't seem to expel. It will pass! Sip very slowly and try hot liquids instead of cold. Ice cold Water just seemed to make my gas worse.

Be patient with yourself. You will be healing for the next 6 weeks. Life with the band will not be like this forever. :)

Your stomach is still swelling from surgery. I also felt like I might have made a big mistake at first also I could hardly get 8oz of liquid down in a day for probably 2-3 weeks. And I was use to always drinking. I carried a drink with me at all times before surgery. Still I don't drink as much as before. Now I worry about getting enough fluids in. We will all adjust over time.

      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?
