Okay, what's the deal with all this trapped gas!? OMG! I am so tired of it!

What can I do? My left shoulder hurts almost all the time.

I've tried everything, I walk after my meals, I finally got up to 72ounces yesterday and I was miserable . I took 2 Gas X before bed, didn't help. I just kept tasting the minty taste of it trying to come back up. So I gave up and went back downstairs and got back on the treadmill yet again, still no complete relief . Then I stayed up and cleaned my house till 5:30 am. Back up @ 8am. Up ever since.

So now today I've only had 28-30 ounces tonight and 1 Gas X, an oxycodone and an Excedrine. Still same shoulder pain. But as type seem to be easing up.

What am I doing wrong? ??

Please help. Desperate for answers. Oh and my surgery was 7 days ago.

Please tell me this ends soon.

I don't know. Try side stretches and swinging your arms around.

Sorry, I never had the gas problem.

Agreed, you need to move to get the gas out. I would also try raising and lowering arms as if you are lifting dumbbells. The Gas X likely won't work because the gas isn't in your tummy.

Buddy if mine recommends Gas X strips. He said they worked faster than the liquid. I have some and only had a small bout of gas pain took a strip and it relieved it

When you lie down, lie on your left side. That position helps the gas ease up. I'm suffering a bit as well, but the left side thing really 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?
