Hi there, I'm posting this before viewing all other posts. The pain you feel is most likely Gas. There is, belive it or not different kinds of gas. You can try gas-x like pleanty of other people have already told you, but it realy dosen't work on this type of gas. It just helps your mind be happy because you took a pill, so when it comes back you think it could have been worse if you didn't take the med. Get it? The best thing's to try, (because all our bodys react diff) Is useing the breathing aperatice the respitory therapist gave you. If you didn't get one then just take deep, deep breathes about 5x or so every 45min. (this will hurt you shoulder, but it is moving the gas in your syatem). Burp as mush as you can. Drink any kind of non caffine Ginger tea. Walk as much as you can, just up and down the hall will help. I'm not going to lie it will be painfull for awhile. But it will lesson as time go's on. Good luck! Sorry I am a terrible speller

I haven't Yet, cross my fingers. But just woundering how long after your sugery did you puke. Not a moist burp, real vomit. Was it painfull compared to pre-op pukeing??? Thank for all your help.

If you eat any carbs it will make you hungery faster so try a day with just shakes and see if you notice more weight loss and less hunger. Good luck! Day 3 pre op

I'm on day 3 and all I can have is fiber shakes, protine/meal replacement shake And good old H2O. I've lost 7lbs in 3 ddays and honestly I must be lucky I'm not hungery. I evern had the energy to workout 2x. Watching the scale go ddown a lb a day or more has been awsome. hang in there and take your vit 3x day like your told to. Good luck

Hangin there. Everything happens for a reason. I'm still waiting for Dr. to request approval to insurance company. It's been 3weeks. And I'm suposto be "all Set" for a date. Keep your spirts up. Good luck!

I live in W Mass and going to attend my first physical support group tonight alittle nervious.
