Congratulations on your surgery. To help with pain use a heating pad. The heat helps. The nurse had told me the gas wants to leave the body and has no place to go.

For a little relief, lay in a recliner with your hips and legs a little higher than your body. The gas will move to your hip area where there is more room and then when you turn upright again your body will absorb some of it.

Then walk, walk, walk...

I was getting severe gas pains Nothing worked for me not walking, not a heating pad, not gasx, not tums... I ended up calling my surgeon they gave me a pill that dissolves under my tongue also that same day i started taking 1 Fiber Gummy. It helped me tremendously i am 1 week post op still have slight gas but nothing like before

      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.
