It takes around 5 days to a week, so give it a little more time.

It should start going away. I found that a heating pad helped, that and walking as much as possible, Even a walk from one end of your house to the other will help. I promise, it gets better.

It went on for about a week for me. And don't always assume it's only gas, if you catch my drift!

Walking is the cure, but it will take time. My worst day was my first day home from the hospital, Day 3. You will start to feel better! Hang in there!

I had my surgery on Dec 30th also. Have been having same problems with gas issue. Seems like I'm better today than the first couple of days after surgery. I have on my grocery list to purchase Gas X. The doctor said he could help. I'm glad to here most people are saying in a week or so it gets better. I have been walking which I can feel that helps.

      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?
