Bloated feeling - any tips?



Recommended Posts

Hey everyone.

few days following my panic thread and I feel so much better. Everything seems to be healing nicely. It's been a week since I was banded and I have been following instructions I received no problem.

Got 1 question to you though - did any of you were so OMG sooo terribly bloated? I feel like all the gas since the surgery is still in my stomach and it goes not want to go out, neither of ways lol :(

I have been walking around alot, I have taken some over the counter stuff for bloaty feeling/trapped gas etc but it doesnt seem to help much. It feels like it's sometimes coming up towards my throat but gets stuck at the band level and goes like 'NOPE, better get back into the stomach and get comfy'. Annoying D:

      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.

      I would like to know what questions you wish you had asked prior to your duodenal switch surgery?
