Walking is the best thing you can do. You can also try stretching.

Thanks a bunch...I have been walking like crazy but I haven't started stretching. I will give that a try. Does it ever get better?

I'm 7 days post op and all I did to relieve my gas pain was walk. Walk outside, walk around your living room, just walk it definitely helps.

In addition to walking cause sometimes early out let's face it you feel weak or the meds have you tired, I would lay on myside and just rock rock rock and that really helped cause when I stood to walk after the rocking the gas would pass. All the best to you!

      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.
