GAS & Pain!! 1 week out



Recommended Posts

I find my gas pain is the worst when ive not eaten anything and especially in the mornings!

Sometimes its hard to button my pants bcuz my tummy is filled with this air.

Ive had gas ex and tums. I walk when ever possible i do arm and back stretches to aleviate the trapped gas beneath my rib cage.

Does anyone have any better solution to rid this once and for all? Or will this be a side effect im forced to live with??

My surgery was 2 weeks ago today. I did not really start to feel relief until day #9. That was my turning point. The pain started to subside, the nausea got better, and the gas started coming out. I actually think that the Gas-X made it worse! I feel better when I don't take it.

One thing that really helps is prilosec. It could be that you have some increased acid production. I crush it and dilute it with 1 oz Water and take it. It really does work.

Only thing to do is stay mobile as much as possible, use a heating pad for comfort and realize that this is temporary as uncomfortable as it is.

      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.
