Most sorness is the gas. try gas-x chewables and make sure to walk as much as possible.

Depends on where your soreness is. Personally mine was gas pain (shoulder/neck area), and incision site soreness. The incision soreness will go away with time (you can take whatever medicine your doc gave you or allows to help). The gas pain can stick around a while. The best thing BY FAR is walking. Walk as much as you can, this will help tremendously. It took me 6 days to stop having gas pain. Some people it's faster, some it's slower. It's hard to say, everyone's different. Good luck!! I hope everything goes well!

My soreness is incision related I need to be able to bend this part is driving me crazy. They gave me no meds because I did so well and was hardly in any pain. The nurse said take extra strength Tylenol as needed

I'm sorry to hear they didn't give you anything stronger for pain meds. That seems kind of unusual, at first you are going to do well because of the meds they gave you in surgery hangs around for quite awhile.

I personally felt a little better after putting some ice on my belly. Incisional pain will take a few days to get better. If tylenol is working for you, keep pestering the office! Hang in there!

Thank you I'm going to try that. It feels likes a whole bunch of little needles sticking me all at once. They did give me dry ice packs

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

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

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      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! 😞

        I may have to have gall bladder surgery during my weight loss surgery. Not thrilled about it either but do not want 2 recovery times. Just want it over with.

        Thanks for your post. I may need to rethink my decision... :(
