Gas pain sucks! How much are you walking? That is the only true remedy, in my opinion. Walk, walk, walk all day long! If you have incision pain, hug a pillow around your middle and walk anyway. It really does help!

There are numerous over-the-counter anti-gas medicines, for example with simethicone. Another tip I can give is don't shake your Protein shakes to mix them - that froth on the top will be gas in the tummy.

Last New Years, I flew out from Philly to Indianapolis to visit my parents. My dad's younger sister had died two months prior due to complications of diabetes. I was at my heaviest, was depressed, and having back and other health problems. My mom brought up the idea of WLS to me while I was there, and I reacted poorly and defensively. My flight back to Philly was on a slightly smaller plane than the one I flew in on, and I couldn't lower my tray table because of my stomach, and I spent the flight home trying to keep my fat from spilling over into my neighbor's seat and thinking about what my mom had said. I started researching WLS the moment I got home.

@@kmorri, I was so embarrassed every time I flew that I didn't even ask for a seat belt extender...I usually just tucked it under my shirt as well and folded my arms over it so the flight attended would not see. Oh my, never again!

@ Kmorri thanks! I had surgery on Thursday the 14th, came home on Friday evening.. I won't lie it felt like I was hit by a Mack truck. But a friend told me today "No pain no gain". So I am holding on to that....

I hear you! I just had to travel for business in March and I had to ask for an extension.. I have gotten use to it so when I first walk on the plane I just ask for one.. Yes it's a awful feeling. But the best think about it and that we have decided to do something about it.. My surgery is in 2 days and I'm super excited about my new life....

Glad to hear. And here's to a speedy recovery! (Raises Protein Shake)

I was also stressed as hell, I barely slept 4 hours the night before the surgery! I even shed a manly tear during the car ride to the hospital. But don't worry, the surgery is actually very fast (it lasted 45 minutes for me), and except for the two first annoying and tiredsome weeks, I recovered really quickly and now I am really happy about my weightloss and I see many positive changes in my life!
It's going to change many aspect of your life, and going out of what you have known for years is scary, but you will be fine! Cheers

Glad all went well Sanju @ Kyle Odom we are having surgery on the same day. Where are you?
