Made It Through Surgery Today



Recommended Posts

I made it through the surgery today and have been home for 4 hours. With the pain meds I am comfortable except for the gas pains. I am able to get up and down on my own And have been able to lay on my side. I am hoping I can walk out side in the morning to get the gas pains to go away. Keeping the Water down has been easy so far hope it stays that way.

You know, I don't mean to brag, but I never had those gas pains. And from all the posts I see about them I think I was very fortunate. Although my wife says I'm a pain and gassy :P

Congratulations on your surgery! Just wanted to drop a note also to say my doctor recommended using Gas-X strips for the gas pain as well as the walking. And the heating pad worked well too. The gas pains were gone by the 8th day for me, but hopefully sooner for you! :)

I'm so glad I was another lucky one that didn't have the gas pains. My biggest pain was shoulder pain, and I don't have that anymore either. Congrats on getting banded. Hope you have a speedy recovery!!!!

      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! 😞
