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've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
