Had surgery 22 Feb, can't burp or fart...feel like I'm going to explode!!! Any advice?

Walk, walk, walk. Did your Dr. give you a spirometer? If so, use it several times per hour. If not, try deep breathing. I was banded 2/17 and was super-uncomfortable until yesterday. It will get better.

I agree walk walk walk..... if u are feelinf bloated you could try the gas x strips... thats what I did!

Yes, I think I have a spriometer for breathing. Can't wait for it to get better! Thanks!

You must force yourself to drink water, water, water. I use powdered Crystal light. Makes it tasty.

Sleep on your left side at an incline.

Thank you, I'll try that tomorrow. Today, I cut down on the Protein drinks and no sugar-free jello! Forgot that anything with nutrasweet tears me up. I have bloating now, but not as bad as yesterday. These first few days are rough. I've been reading that it only gets better, looking forward to that!

I've been sleeping in the lazy-boy since returning home. I'll try my left side tonight....thank you!!!

Thank you so much, I'll get some tomorrow. Right now, the bloating is bad again and I'm experiencing some anxiety!

Purchased the peppermint tea today....THANK YOU, YOU SAVED MY LIFE!!!! I started drinking it after my walk this afternoon, and the bloating has been very manageable. Thanks again!!!
