Just had surgery on Monday....my gas pains are terrible! I walked today plus used like a whole box of gas-x strips. Ugh! Hope it resolves soon :(

Walking was the only thing that helped the gas pains for me - I walked every hour on the hour. Gas-X didn't help because it was the gas they pumped into me that was causing the pain.

It will be gone soon - hang in there, it will get better.

aw wow! I am not sure if this is the same pain experienced by those with gallbladder disease...but if it is...I know your pain! with GD the gas and air was trapped throughout my entire digestive system. I was also in agony. the worst part was the problem couldn't be fully resolved until I had my gallbladder removed. sometimes the pressure, bloat and gas was so severe that I had to take shallow breaths...I couldn't even fill my lungs up fully without screaming in pain. my back, chest, under my ribcage, my sides...EVERYTHING hurt. hang in there, remember to walk, walk, walk it out, and I have seen others say gas x or Prilosec helped them immensely.

That's the thing, I'm felt like it never passed either through farthing or burping! Lol so idol where it went! But I had my drain tube removed yesterday and that made a big difference. Feeling a lot better without that! Not feeling naw much gas either.

I had my surgery Tuesday and have gas galore. I can't drink anything but Water because it is like a gas bubble forms in my esophagus. I get my drain tube out Monday. Fingers crossed that will help.

Yes, almost a week. It is really a nuisance and I hope when it comes out, some gas will go with it. The gas is really the only pain I am having other than just soreness.

This is exactly how I felt. I had surgery wednesday. I got my drain out today, and not only did I instantly feel better, a couple hours later I had the best fart/poop session evet! Hah. I'm still full of gas, but the pains are SO MUCH BETTER now that the drain is out.

Ditto. Getting my drain out was like a total release of pressure. Plus a nagging pain under my rib cage disappeared immediately.

It's also awesome how much easier it is to get up and sit down after she removed the drain.

I know!!! I'm not feeling like I'm dying every time I lower or raise myself off the toilet, which I was.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
