When Does The Gas Get Better?



Recommended Posts

I was sleeved monday the 27th. So far i haven't had bad gas... until today. Now everytime i move and especially when i drink i can't stop belching. It's really uncomfortable because i can feel it making it's way up my sleeve. When I'm drinking i can feel it fighting to get around. I take tiny sips and make sure I'm not gulping air at the same time. I'm only drinking broth, Water, and G2. Other than the gas the only pain is from my drain and i don't have any nausea.

Gas X did nothing for me. I chewed it all day yesterday. Today seems to be a little better. Still have lotsa gas but it doesn't hurt my sleeve. I hope it stays that way!

I am three weeks out. It took about a week for it to be completely gone. Day 6 for me was a huge corner that I turned. It will get better each day, and walking was the only thing that helped me. Force yourself to get up and walk around. It really truly helps.

Sleeved on the 27th and I'm living on Gas-x. I've also started taking Prilosec.

      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?
