Surgery on Monday? You have done absolutely nothing wrong. Your tummy will still be feeling swollen from the op. It is normal to feel like this. Give yourself a chance to heal. Try walking to move those gas bubbles around and out. A heat pack will also help with the pain. It will get better.

I feel like this too and I was scared I am lactose intolerant. My doc told me to chew gas ex which is helping but I still feel the same. I had surgery 5/23

It’s the leftover gas from the surgery. Use a heating pad to soothe it and definitely walk around to break up the gas. I also liked a gentle self massage on my stomach, that helped me a lot.

      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.
