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.

      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.

      I would like to know what questions you wish you had asked prior to your duodenal switch surgery?
