Sheshawn

I had the same problem. I found that if you get down on the floor on your hands and knees and then lower onto your elbows, this helped work the gas out. Your bottom will be a little higher than your chest. Looks and sounds odd but really did work for me!

I had my surgery on Tuesday May 17 as well. I have not been able to meet goals yet. I asked my Doc about the gurgling sound because I was hearing/feeling it too. He said it was perfectly normal, explaining that the esophagus was larger than the opening to the stomach and worked similar to a funnel. Made sense the way he explained it. He said it will stop. So thankful for this forum for all the advice, otherwise I would be having constant meltdowns!

I tried the hydrocortisone cream as suggested and the redness is gone! I guess it was just irritation. Thanks everyone for your help!

Thanks for the info. Maybe I will try some cream on there and see if that helps.

Thanks! I guess I just need reassurance. Sent from my iPad using the BariatricPal App

I am 2 days post op and just wondering if anyone else had redness around wounds without infection? Doc said probably just a skin reaction because the wounds look great. Sent from my iPad using the BariatricPal App
