That's exactly what happened with me, now I'm afraid to try any I pretty much just got most of the gas out. Also, did you have any issue with a BM? 4 days out I haven't gone yet?

At Day 8, I still had not had a BM. So, that night it took chewable Senokot. Had a BM the next morning. Nothing the following morning. Nut a BM this morning. So, hoping my body is getting back on track. When I had my one week post-OP appt with my program, they say no BM for 4-5 days is normative after WLS. But, not 8 days. So, that's why I took Senokot.

Sorry to hear about your complication but I’m glad to know that other than the gas part you are doing well! I’m super nervous about my surgery on the 26th!!

I was super nervous too I almost canceled at the last minute. I have a great support system even though I’m alone my family wanted this for me for so long. Just keep remembering the surgery is easy. It’s probably the safest surgery you’ll ever have.

What does your surgeon say about what you are experiencing? May be helpful to get checked out by your team.

@BRittenhouse I'm sorry your having such a bad time, I don't have 7 children but I do have a lot of animals that can't understand why they can't sit on me and why I can't play much. I had mine on 4/15 and still only on clear Water and stomach feels like severe cramps, I did wake up today and the pain was a lot less, so all I can say is Day by Day, do you have a support system to help? Hang in there, it's got to get better 🙏

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
