Dry-heaving

Is anyone else having problems with this? Any suggestions? Plus, I keep getting gas trapped in my stomach and it feels terrible. It feels like rumbles. I'm starting to regret having this surgery ????

How far out are you? I'm almost 2 weeks out and the rumbling is getting better. Make sure you eat really slow. Gasx strips helped me a lot! I know it's tacky but i make myself burp while im eating and it is helping. It will get better, your body just has to have time to heal and adjust.

Passing gas is very normal during the first few weeks after surgery. After that it becomes more manageable. Also it is common to hit a stage called "Never trust a fart". Luckily that stage does not last long.

I'm 16 days post. It's like I have to force myself to eat. Nothing sounds appetizing. But I did buy a box of gas x strips, and I am going to pop one of those babies in in just a few minutes lol.

Thanks guys!
