My surgery was august 5 th and Gas x strips that dissolve on your tongue are helping me alot. They taste kinda gross but definitely worth it. I'm using about 5 a day...

And yes walking around helps too

Joyce - Chevygirll said what I was thinking. Someone told me about the GasX strips at about post-op day 5 and they were a life saver. I got the mint and did not mind the taste at all. Before that I was bloated and sore even with walking. Definitely worth trying

Hi, I'm 9 days post op and had terrible gas from Day 1 until Day 4. I used Fennel tea, which can be bought at health food stores. It doesn't taste great but I only made a very small cup and it began working within about 15 minutes. I used it until I felt no more gas about once to twice a day. Good luck, it does pass!

I had horrible gas pain after surgery, I was told to rock! It helped. I used a pillow, hugged it and rocked like an old granny! Try it, you may get some relief.

      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.
