Lump from my throat to my chest to my stomach...and back again.



Recommended Posts

I have had this feeling since 2 days post op. I really haven't told my dr directly, but the nurses say it's gas. We'll this is the most painful gas ever. It hits n moves for a space of 7 seconds....it does feel like it could be gas, but a gas ball? Should I call the dr or try a home remedy?

I haven't had my surgery yet, but when I had my laproscopic tubal many years ago and they used the gas to blow up my stomach, it hurt for a few days while the gas traveled through my body. I can remember it hurting especially bad in my shoulders.

yes it hurts like hell. you would never think gas pains would be as high as they get after surgery. it is ffrom the gas they pump you up with. mine took almost 2 weeks to go away, but it DOES go away. you just have to wait and let it pass. good luck!

Talk to your doctor. It could be several things, not just one thing. GasX never hurts, though. I should have stock in GasX company.

After this procedure everything you probably eat will cause air buildup in your gut. Make sure to walk walk and walk. This will move the gas and also taking chewables gas x should give you some relief. If not contact your physician.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
