Just made it home from the hospital. Feeling pretty good just some discomfort from the gas in shoulders and chest making it a little hard to get a good deep breath. Ice pack on stomach as instructed to help with swelling.

Congratulations !! You are on your way. I am day 7 post op , I also had the gas really bad , I used a heating pad on my left shoulder and back and it really helped and I also kept a ice pack on the stomach for the swelling.Just keep using , it should get better in about 3 days and don't forget to walk to move that gas out. The Gas -X chewables also helped me quite a bit. Good Luck !!!

Congrats! Gas sucks. Walking helped me a lot. Daytona52 is right, I'm at 3 days post op and feeling better with the gas pains. Just a bit left, but I'm sure it will be totally gone in a few more days.

Are you guys still sore? I'm 3 days out and still very sore. The only gas I have is burps...lots of burps. Haha! My back is really sore too! The Dr said that is from the hernia repair. Didn't even know I had one. Any one else have hernia repaired? I'm wondering if it takes longer to heal?

I was able to get about 5 solid hours of sleep in the recliner. Every time I get up to use the bathroom I do circles in the house for a good 10-15 minutes at a time. I asked my discharge nurse when I was gonna feel like a baseball bat hit me in the stomach and she said either Friday or Saturday so I am bracing for it. I'm not trying to be a hero and am taking pain meds every 5 hours. I was told to use ice at least the first 48 hours to reduce swelling as well as help with gas. Still feeling better than I thought I would. I hope everyone comtinues to heal fast!

Ok I'm confused...what is causing this gas?? And why are your shoulders and chest hurting??

I'm waiting on insurance to approve and ill have my date for surgery (hoping for next month) so I'm trying to figure out all the ins and outs!

      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.

      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...
