Massive Bloating everyday, all day.



Recommended Posts

Hey,

I'm a veteran bandster, but this issue has been looming over my head.

I have this problem almost every day, and I'm really embarassed that I have this highly annoying, life disrupting, severely uncomfortable predicament. I was hoping you guys had a clue what's going on, or can pinpoint what I'm doing to cause it is interferingwith my life. I have severe bloating in my abdomin. Here's my day...

I wake up, make coffee (nothing different there) and sit down and watch the news. Suddenly my stomach will bloat to the extent that I look and feel pregnant. I lounge in my shorts. My abdomin really hurts and since it's bloated, it needs room. So I have top pull my shorts under the fat on my hanging abdomen and set loose this monster of a tummy. Or pull the shorts up to my chest, Sometimes it works, sometimes it's non-existent. It hurts right now.

I have not noticed any changes in my diet. Maybe I'm just feeling common bloating, but does it usually happen every day?

And so bad? This is a new problem, a few months.

fellow experience/knowledge/advice/and just gentle kindness is what I need.

I will gently say you should see your surgeon or family doctor. That doesn't sound normal and while there may be an obvious solution I cannot figure out why it's happening and you cant either ...so maybe it's time for you to get checked out to make sure nothing serious is going on.... Best wishes.

How's the bowel movements going? Could be the back end causing the bloating?

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞
