Walk lots of Water and a hot shower really relaxes you. Also the leg exercises lay in bed stretch out calf mucsles and then raise your knees to stomach. And try to pass gas or burp.

Drinking how liquid helped me alot. I had horrible gas pains for almost 3 weeks. The hot liquid helped me as soon as I drank it. It wasn't a cure all, but between that and walking it sure helped

As a nurse we tell post op patients to walk, warm showers and drink warm liquids and gasx. Unfortunately there really isn't anything else I'm aware of. Maybe some old wives tales somewhere? Just make sure they are pouch friendly!

Gripe Water for babies with gas problems worked best for me.

I had a friend to massage my upper back and that help to relase the gas for me along with lots and lots of walking.

Try peppermint or ginger tea. That helped me a lot.

      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.
