Need to pass gas - just home

My gas was horrendous and I couldn't release it. The combination of walking and mylicon drops began to help after a few hours. Its most painful in the first day or two, I'm now at day 5 and it only occurs if i take too big a sip.

Thanks!!! Glad we are doing better!

Walking is the only thing that will help move the gas around. When I came home I walked a lot only really had gas at night and mornings. Almost a month post op and it is gone.

Surgery 12/18. 8 days out. The gas was scary... I had a "loose problem" for a few days! Now it's normal but small since I am not really eating much. I went to stage II on Saturday since I was starving! That helped a lot. I have found that eating while standing up is much easier on my system. I have a 'pressure' in my stomach today. I fear I overdid today... Does anyone feel "healing" going on inside them?

Hi! 12/20 was me. Definately some pressure. Gas and normal per my doc - no pain now. I do get some pain in evening/night from the days collection of liquids in my intestines - and have had the reverse, Constipation.

I don’t stand I def sit up at table to eat tho

Yes- we are healing. I think it takes approx 4 months for full stomach healing. Go easy. Take naps.

      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?
