Hello, I had a lot of gas. What helped me with the gas was walking. God bless, Brandi

Hello, I had my surgery on 5/15/24, I had a hiatal hernia repair with the Gastro bypass and some scar tissue removal. after surgery, I was a little low on iron but walked right away, which helped with the gas pains. I completed the fluid challenge and was released to go home. At the hospital, I brought my purple folder to read over my recovery expectations a book phone a long phone charger, light robe, my comfy pillow from home, blanket, slippers, and chapstick was the main items I use for my hospital stay. I was very thankful for the nausea medicine that helped me through the beginning stages of healing. The recommendation of sugar-free Popsicles were a delightful change. I am now getting stronger and in the third week of a full liquid diet with vitamins, getting ready to merge into my purée diet on June, 5. I noticed walking helps me a lot and then a rest after and drinking a lot of fluids helps me with bowel movements. I pray you all have successful journey in your new lives. God bless, Brandi

Hello everyone, My name is Brandi and I am on my 5th day of the liver shrinking diet and my surgery date is scheduled for 5/15/24. I’ve been having severe muscle pain. Is that normal? Do you have any suggestions or solution I can do for this pain in my butt and leg area. I really didn’t have any direction of what I should bring to the hospital. I assume that they would instruct me during my preop appointment on the 10th for instructions. I know it’s just a one to two days stay so I probably won’t bring much. God bless, Brandi
