Four days after surgery



Recommended Posts

Hello everyone,

This is my 4th day after surgery and everyday I am feeling better. However, I am having trouble releasing gas and that makes me feel miserable. Any suggestions? It was a long journey to get to this point but it was worth it. I live in a small town in southeast Texas, 30 minutes from the border of Louisiana. I hope to make many friends and supporters and in return support others. My number one question at this moment is should I be feeling hungry? Confused?

Hi Ronnie. Congrats with your surgery! I just got approved and will have mine on the 13th. I've heard that walking and taking some of those Gas-X strips helps a lot with reducing the discomfort of gas pains. I hope you feel better soon. I know each day will get better and better for you. :001_cool:

Not sure how you mean, but I used a heat pack constantly for shoulder tip gas pains, and Gas-X for the gut wind pain issues.

Thanks Erika, I know you are so ready. It seemed to took a long time before my big day came, then all of a sudden it was here. I finally walked the gas off. Yeah! Everyday gets better and better. My prayers will go up for you on the 13th.

      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.
