redheadjo 63 Posted December 30, 2016 Just make sure you are passing gas or having a bm. I was the same way and ended up having an emergency appendectomy. Anything can happen I suppose! Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

10stackzz 184 Posted December 30, 2016 Congrats on your surgery..Sounds like your in discomfort and from what I read it's pretty normal....I'm researching to see is there anything I can do before my surgery to prevent the gas pains. It sounds like it hurts...but, overtime it subsides. I hope you get some relief soon. Hang in there! Sent from my SM-G935T using the BariatricPal App Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
naec 0 Posted December 30, 2016 Thanks and the gas is the most discomfort I've had beside some pain in my lower right abdomen but each day it gets better each day and of course the getting up and down Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sleeved_G 48 Posted January 29, 2017 I'm in Day 5 and by day 3 all of my Gaia pains vanished!! Hoping they don't come anytime soon. I'm sure as I eat more food I will have gas. If your haven't already buy some Gas-X strips. They work wonder and start working very quickly. Walking can be hard so early but it's super helpful!
