48 Hours Post Surgery.



Recommended Posts

Hi. I am 48 hours post surgery, did anyone else feel great lying down but when you get up you feel like you need to burp really bad and cant? Almost to the point I want to throw up. Not really eating a whole lot either and I do feel hungry. Any help would be great.

I felt that way for almost two wks after..a little better each day...try gas-x it really helps. The gas they pumpe underneith you skin has to be absorbed be your body in order to get it out. I was banded june 1st, and feel alot like myself now, as far as the band is concerned. I fractured my hip exercising last sunday, so I am down again..my luck. I stiill have a sharp pain under my left ribcage when I cough or move in a certain direction...first fill and check up is july 5th so ill have it checked then. You will feeel better soon. U may start having regrets, alot do..it to will pass..keep ur head up...good luck

a heating pad on your tummy will help, and laying in bed on your left side.

It is common to be full of gas post surgery, i know a lot have got relief from gas x strips, we dont get them here, but my heat pad was my saviour and in a few days u will find that the gas will start to move and find its own outlet :)

Thank you so much I feel better hearing that. Sorry that you fractured your hip. That sounds painful. Hope you feel better soon.
