Had surgery june 23

[over nighter 0]

Well it finally came time , I had gotten my weight down to 215lbs. I figured it would make my surgery easier . They had scheduled 1.5 hours including fixing my hyiadal hernia. Well the hernia was bigger then expected plus they had problems moving the liver due to the fat stuck to it. They had to call in a second Dr and 5 hrs later it was done. Today is the 26th I am drinking the half full medicine cups of Water. But the bloating is killing me. I feel good when I wake up but then once I start drinking I fill up with air again. Any suggestions ?

I know everyone will say the same thing but walking does help a lot. The bloating has to just work its way out of your body. Part of it is just fluids from the IV they had/have you on too. Hope you feel better soon! And congrats on taking this huge step for yourself!!

Bloating is normal because of the IV fluids still in your system.

Walk as much as you can several times a day it will help with the bloating and gas.

If you want you can call the surgeon and ask if you can use Gas X strips to help with the bloating and gas.

Congratulations on taking this step towards a healthier you.

Feel better.
