RHAYNE08 4 Posted August 26, 2015 Has my surgery Monday and feeling ok, if i can just burp I'll be doing great. I have been taking the gas x strips but not helping. Has anyone found a way around their gas issues Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Klohebaby 5 Posted August 26, 2015 I found to get some gas up was to put my arms on the table and lean my head between them trying to open up your throat air ways. After awhile I would burp... Also eat as slow as possible and only like half or Quarter of a teaspoon at a time.. Good Luck !! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dkrause 23 Posted August 26, 2015 Lay on your side and lift your leg up..also raise your arms over your head. I try not to lay flat either Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
laura4923 137 Posted August 26, 2015 Hi to you all! I had my surgery yesterday. Day of surgery was pretty rough. I'm a cheap date and don't tolerate very much pain medicine. I don't remember much from yesterday except walking in the hall with my eyes closed!! Lol Today is much better. Passed the barium swallow and am sipping on Water and Protein punch, Soups. Up walking every two hours. My only real pain from my drain site and my throat is sore from the tubes. I'm using liquid pain medicine. Expect to be discharged tomorrow!

iloveme_vgs 4 Posted August 28, 2015 Sleeved 8.26.15. Still in the hospital. Just got taken off my pain pump. Have been having trouble voiding. Working on keeping fluids down if I can then i might get sent home this afternoon.. I've been moving around and try to do everything on my own. Good thing is I'm not really hungry. Just dry mouth.

sgibbs 16 Posted August 29, 2015 My surgery was Wednesday also. I'm doing great. Barely no pain. Burping frequently to get rid of the gas and just a bit of nausea now and again. The medicine does help. Incisions hurt when I turn a certain way so...I don't turn that way. Do lots of deep breathing to get that oxygen so you won't get dizzy walking... How are you doing?
