Nyelaah 77 Posted August 14, 2015 Has anyone experienced feeling gassy and bloated 4 weeks post op? I had been feeling fine when all of a sudden BOOM I started feeling this way. When I get up from my seat it feels strain on my tummy, when drinking it's a little uncomfy not too much, and gassy. Oh and my tummy is bloated around the incision areas compared to yesterday morning. I starting noticing this uncomfortable feeling after my first low impact workout Wednesday night. FYI I called my doc and waiting on call. Thoughts? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

BigTink2LilTink 723 Posted August 17, 2015 (edited) You may want to reach out to your surgeon on dietitian for some advice. I know when I was having sever issues with gas and bloating after surgery, and stupidly trying to eat salads on 4 weeks post op, I was suffering from server gas and bloating pains. I wound up taking Gas-X along with some Papaya enzyme supplements to help get my digestive system back on track. In addition to those I also started taking a probiotic gummies too. Those things along with Fiber has pretty much kept me gas and bloating free for the past 5 months. Papaya Enzyme Supplements: http://www.walmart.com/ip/Spring-Valley-Papaya-Enzyme-Digestive-Health-Dietary-Supplement-180-Ct/10324935Probiotic Gummies:http://www.walmart.com/ip/Digestive-Advantage-Probiotic-Gummies-Dietary-Supplement-80-count/28830944 Fiber:http://www.walmart.com/ip/Metamucil-Sugar-Free-Orange-Smooth-Daily-Fiber-Supplement-Powder-15-oz/39073425 Now I'm only taking the Papaya (daily) and the Fiber (ever other morning) and I haven't had issues with gas or bloating.

TexasGal82 25 Posted August 17, 2015 Are you running a temperature at all or have chills? When I spoke with my surgeon today about gas pains, these are the things he asked me and stated with worsening gas pain, I'd need a CTScan to check for a leak. With the introduction of new exercise today, I wouldn't panic but I'd definitely put in another call to your surgeon just to be on the safe side. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
