I'm 3 days post-op today and feeling ok, gas pains are painful and I'm feeling nauseated but besides that I'm feeling pretty good.. I know in a few more days ill feel even more better.. I have asked myself if this was worth it but I know it will be as soon as I'm feeling like myself again... :)

I am so happy to hear about your outlook on this. I am 6 months out and can say the first few days are rough. But keep in mind this is just temporary pain and will be something you barely remember down the road when you feel "normal" again. It will be so exciting for you to look in the mirror and watch yourself change daily. This is honestly the best thing I have ever done for myself. I wish you the best luck in your journey!

Thank you! It has been tough at times but I know it will get better and like you said months from now I'll see the great results and I'll know it was worth it! What helped you with the gas pains?

What helps with the gas pains is walking, walking, and walking some more. The gas pains are from the residual gas the doc puts in your belly to inflate it so he can put the instruments in. The gas is not located in your bowels so the gas-x strips are in my humble opinion worthless. They simply cannot target the type of gas pains you are having. Walking helps your body absorb it and eliminate it by way of your lungs during gas exchange. Good luck, the first week sucks but after that it gets better and better!

In a few weeks it will all be a distant memory! So glad you are doing well otherwise though, hang in there, it will get better..
