New to the forum, had surgery Monday



Recommended Posts

Hi everyone.

I’m new to this forum.  I just had RNY on Monday, and I’m having terrible gas pains.  I did pass gas inthe hospital eventually, but now I’m home and it feels like it’s building up a lot.  

Hopefully this is someone normal and I don’t need to be as worried as I am yet.  


I’m happy to have found this community and I’m looking forward to learning and sharing experiences with everyone.

I was surprised by where I felt that gas pains, and how it came back on day 4 or 5 after being fine on day 3! It was in my right shoulder and HOLY MOLY it hurt! I actually ended up taking a pain pill and going to bed early. It was gone the next day, so phew! This too shall pass...congratulations!!

I had my VSG last week and, as someone who never had gas before, the gas I now get caught in my chest is rough. I have been taking Pepto and Prilosec OTC which gives me pain relief but the gas is still there. I shared this with my doctor and they said it shouldn't be a forever thing but just momentary. I'm exactly 8 days out and still have the gas bubble in my chest.

Bless your heart I can imagine. I deal with a bad rotator cuff aleady. I am waiting on Insurance approval for my bypass so hoping for sometime in November.

I'm so happy for you. I'm having RNY hopefully in November, still waiting on insurance approval. I hope you are feeling better.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
