Recommended Posts

So this is my 3rd day sleeved, no pain but the gas is unbarable. I can't take a sip of Water or a little spoon of applesauce without having the pressure of the burps. Is there anyone that has experienced that? What can I do. I walk around my house all day but I'm mostly tired so I lay on my back in bed. But the burps/gas is horrible ???? HELP?!

If your laying in bed and unable to walk around as much as you should...bring your knees up to your chest....you might let out some air from other ends..but it might work....I haven't had my surgery yet..but that is just what someone told me to do... :rolleyes:

I burped nonstop for weeks! Try some gas x or maalox liquid that's an antacid and anti gas.

If you can put your butt up in the air or pump your legs in and out like we do with babies.

Honestly I barely let out any of the air out of my backside...it was all burps.

I drank a lot of tea and it seemed to help.

walking helps alleviate some of that...but if it is a constant problem, talk with your doctor of options for relief...

gas problems are common in the beginning....good luck and feel better

Lay on your left side, that is supposed to really help with gas (helps things flow in the right direction! :) ). Also, i haven't had surgery yet but I have read from many other people that the gas-x melt in your mouth strips really work as well. Good luck!

I just had surgery yesterday, but I found the pain went away after sleeping on my left side for a couple of hours. It's still early though so it may come back. I have also decreased the size of my "sips".

Try a heating pad. It really worked well for me.

I was really nervous but it's worth it, a lot of struggle but I was up after my surgery, thank god I have no complications just the burping which is normal but annoying, don't second guess yourself! Good luck and my prayers and love is with you! [=

Start my preop diet 11/2 and surgery 11/12. I'm getting so nervous. I'm glad to read I'm not the only one. Also sounds like overall the pain is not too bad (except gas). Can't wait for the big change.

Oh wow good luck! The pain yes it's not too bad but the gas is horrible but I know you will do great! It's alomost coming so just make sure to prepare yourself! Best of luck!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
