I am 10 days post op and still have some side effects from the extra air. I have a ritual now that I do which is stretching every morning. If the pain settles in my back/shoulders I usually grab then end of the counter and lean back to stretch it all out. I also had a lot of soreness in my calves which I would do lounges to loosen up. sleeping on my side was the most comfortable and having someone rub your neck helps relieve some of the tension. Hope this helps!! Good luck ;o)

Heating pad and crushed vicodin/percocet. Lortab didn't touch mine.

Lortab and Vicodin are the exact same thing. 5mg hydrocodone and 500 mg acetaminophen. Just different brand names.

A mid back chiropractic adjustment will knock that gas pain out in 2 seconds!

I would say walking as much as you could and pain meds

. I also had some sugar free apple juice and that seemed to make me have first bowel movement and that helped alot .... Good luck....

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
