Hey there.. first off congrats on getting banded. The gas pain goes away I lived on gas x strips for the first week. It is amazing how much gas can hurt! You have taken the first step to a new you! I have kept a little journal of this process and it is so energizing to look back and see how much I have changed just not physically. God Bless.

Hi there,

I had my surgery on Monday too. I have to agree with you, I had no idea that the gas pain would be so bad.

Today does seem to be a little better though, thank goodness!

Just wanted to say hi.

Good luck to you! HOpe we are both pain-free very soon!

Hello, I had my surgery on monday as well, I have gas, stomach pain, bloating and I am also very sore, sometimes I am bent over until i walk for a while. I am not having any problems with getting some of the liquids in but I am not able to drink all that is required. Also I have not had a bowel movement either. I heard all of this gets better in another week or so... Hang in there, just wanted to say I have the same issues... Gigi:drool:

      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?
