5 Days Out. How Do I Get Rid Of Extra Gas?



Recommended Posts

Hi, I am 5 days post op and I keep feeling like I need to burp really bad. Nothing happens, and I am taking the gas x strips too. It really hurts. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

If you have one of the magic bags the heat seems to help, it will pass.

This is going to sound really silly, but if you get on your hands and knees and then lower your upper body, that will help the gas move.

My rocking chair was a great help to get rid of the gas.

      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.
