I had bypass 2 days ago and I can’t get anything down. I have so much air in my belly and I’ve been walking like crazy, but it’s not moving!feels like I’m going to pop if I take a sip of something [emoji15]

Most of the gas pain should ease up during the first week. It is alway rough at the beginning. Just hang in there.

I had bypass on Thursday and today it feels like some of the gas is finally moving along. I heard from other people to try to do stretches where your head is lower than your butt ---if that makes sense. I did some kneeling on the bed and would keep my head down and put my hips up and would kind of sway. Not sure if that helped me but it felt good. Hang in there!

Ya the pain is getting better. But as soon as I take a single sip or a single bite of something. I feel so stuffed!! Not sure how I’m going to get all the Protein in

      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?
