When Will The Gas Pain Go Away??



Recommended Posts

I was banded on 10/26/12 and just started experiencing this horrible gas pain yesterday. Nothing helps! I almost regret doing this. Someone please tell me this will end soon. I'm so frustrated and can't even have a glass of Moscato like I normally would. Help please!!

Banjo the gas piano I believe she is referring to is the gas the surgeon fills you with during surgery trying to exit your body. Not like a gas bubble you would developer from say a need to toot

Hot shower. Aim the spray where it hurts. It should help. Hang in there. And walk some more if you can

For your shoulder try a really warm wet washcloth against it.

It helped me to warm up some apple juice and fruit punch and put a tea bag in it. They gave this to me at the hospital and called it toot juice. It helped heaps. It will get better but it might take a while. You have to walk.

It was about 5 days for me, but walking definitely helps, you have to work the gas out of your body that they pumped in you during surgery. Some say heating pad works too.

      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! 😞
