5 days post op and so bloated :(



Recommended Posts

Hey guys, I really need your advice on this. This is my day 5 post op. The first four days went ok but since last night I feel so bloated that I feel like my incision gonna torn apart. Did any of you had such problem? What did you do? I'm freaked out and it's weekend and can't catch my surgeon :(

I'm 10 days post op and it's finally today that I feel much less bloated and swollen. Getting in the walking is making the difference.

Some people(me) can't handle pain meds. They shut down my entire digestive system. My stomach fills with food, Water, bile etc and my stomach protrudes. I get to a point where I can't eat or drink anything as there's no room. Seems like my pyloric sphincter just shuts down. So, I do not take oxycodone or any other pain relievers. Just a thought?

I was very bloated, GAS-X worked wonders, walking helps also.

I felt super bloated too. Walking is the only way to fix it. But trust your body, if you feel like something is very wrong, contact your doctor asap.

Yes. I was very bloated and very uncomfortable. Gas x worked for me and walking really did the trick. It won't last too much longer.

      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.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
