3 DAYS POST-OP GAS!!!!



Recommended Posts

Ok first off let me say I was sleeved on Monday the 13th. Everything went fine, they did do a hernia repair in the process which I feel has caused a bit more pain than just the sleeve would have and a few extra staples, yes I said staples....I thought I was only going to have steri-stips but in order for them to get to the hernia and repair it correctly I now have 14 staples sitting neatly in my belly. I'm ok with that, I already had scars from my gallbladder removal two years ago. I'm extremely fair skinned and do scar easily.

Anyway, on to the reason for this post! I've had MAJOR gas! I think without the gas I wouldn't have had to have hardly any pain meds. But this gas is killing me! Its so much better today but funny thing is, now I can feel it rumbling around in my whole abdomen but I can't get any out! It just rumbles rumbles rumbles.

I have been taking lots of walks, gas-x and deep breathing. I've done everything they have told me to do but I just can't pass any of it. Any advice???

Oh my goodness. I feel your pain!! I had that same gas problem!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

In the hospital, when I woke up, I was MISERABLE!!! I complained and they told me nothing would help and to push my pain button!! I pushed and pushed to the point I was sooooo stoned, I could not stand up to walk!! LOL

It wasn't helping and so I stopped pushing it! I couldn't take a deep breath and I couldn't sit up straight. I wanted to cry. I had no surgery pain, it was gas!!

I had an hour and a half car ride home and I was just miserable! I could not fart or burp and I just wanted to die! For 3 days, I was like that! Finally on day 4, I tooted....LOUD!! and felt a little better. All day, little ones and big one and bigger. Then, I trusted one that I shouldn't and all hell broke loose and I crapped my pants!! LOL

My point is.......All that rumbeling is it getting ready to break loose on you. So be careful if you feel like you need to toot! I did that 3 times (crappin' my pants)!! NOT FUN!! Especially when you just have taken a shower and are anemic and have no damn energy to take another anyway! LOL

Seriously tho, nothing helps!! I took Gas-X, warm tea, walking, heating pad, put my knees up like a baby and rocked side to side, layed on my side, rubbed my belly (as much as I could). NOTHING WORKS, but time.

If you are rumbeling, you are breaking loose. I bet by tomorrow you will start feeling better!

Good luck!

Kelly ;)

that was my problem too after surgery, i had my sleeve 6/11. i didn't have a lot of pain from the surgery except for horrible gas pains. i did everything, i was praying and begging to god to just let me burp..lol. surgery was on saturday and i didn't start feeling a little better till tues (i pass gas on the plane). i still have problems with it. the solution for gas pain is time. try to stay from the narcotics as much as possible cause they slow down your gut movement.

      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?
