Post OP day 2, lots of pressure



Recommended Posts

I was sleeved on 9/22/16 Thursday afternoon. Was on diluted most of my stay for pain. But was slowly taken off it. I'm having issues with possible gas or air. Or maybe my stomach just needs Protein. I'll get what almost feels like indigestion and then my stomach will "growl" after. I've also passed gas a few times. I was wondering if anyone else has encountered this pain or possible gas post Op.

I was sleeved on 9/21 and it is the same for me. Today is the first day I've even come close to my Protein goal. The bloating and gurgle is still there but not as bad as yesterday. Hang in there and WE will be fine.

Walk, walk, walk, walk. I'm 4.5 weeks out and I can remember thinking to myself that walking did more to relieve pain then the prescription pain narcotics. Walking will do wonders for you. Hang in there...it gets so much better with each day.

Oh yes that's very painful. If you can manage a few short walks through the day that will help disperse the gas naturally within your body. I felt like I had swollowed a rock for the first 6 days. It slowly went away just hang in there

      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?
