I was sleeved on the 21st so I am not that far ahead of you. My question would be - do you have to pass gas? I did not break wind until after I got home and started the clear diet.

If you are worried because you have not, yet do not feel the need to (no pain, gas, etc...) I think you are ok.

Well my stomach keeps rumbling now but I'm not bloated or in any pain from the gas. The nurses said I can go home as soon as I pass gas.

Good luck with that. It was not a requirement for me to get out or else I would have stayed longer. I was never in any pain or distress because I was not farting.< /p>

I should add the first time I had to, it was one of the most pleasant experiences of my life... I was quite the fart machine before the surgery :)

I too, had surgery on the 28th. I just started passing today. It was so bad I was getting nauseated. I think the more walking around, the better. Last night I tried to roll on my side and that helped move the bubbles down. Besides being weak, this is my only true pain I have.

Lego how are you doing with fluids ? Today I had 3 oz of orange sugar free Jello 3oz beef broth and 3 oz chicken broth for dinner. Water was making me feel nausea but I've been getting my water in by sucking on ice cubes

I didn't pass gas for a week or two. I was so bloated but didn't have much pains at times I wish I could have passed some lol. I didn't have a BM for 12 days either. Everybody is different don't fret. Your body is getting a big shock right now with all the changes it will take some time to level out. Best of luck!

Yeah I passed gas this morning looks like I'm going home. But my main incision is still killing me . How long does this pain usually last for? I know everyone is different but I would just like an estimate because I have to go back to work on the 10th

You should be fine by the 10th. The main incision was the most uncomfortable for me and took the longest to heal. I had to make sure nothing even touched it! The good news is it has become just a distant memory ;)

      Iʻm roughly 6 weeks post-op this morning and have begun to feel like a normal human, with a normal human body again. I started introducing solid foods and pill forms of medications/supplements a couple of weeks ago and it's really amazing to eat meals with my family again, despite the fact that my portions are so much smaller than theirs. 
      I live on the island of Oʻahu and spend a lot of time in the water- for exercise, for play,  and for spiritual & mental health. The day I had my month out appointment with my surgeon, I packed all my gear in my truck, anticipating his permission to get back in the ocean. The minute I walked out of that hospital I drove straight to the shore and got in that water. Hallelujah! My appointment was at 10 am. I didn't get home until after 5 pm. 
      I'm down 31 pounds since the day of surgery and 47 since my pre-op diet began, with that typical week long stall occurring at three weeks. I'm really starting to see some changes lately- some of my clothing is too big, some fits again. The most drastic changes I notice however are in my face. I've also noticed my endurance and flexibility increasing. I was really starting to be held up physically, and I'm so grateful that I'm seeing that turn around in such short order. 
      My general disposition lately is hopeful and motivated. The only thing that bugs me on a daily basis still is the way those supplements make my house smell. So stink! But I just bought a smell proof bag online that other people use to put their pot in. My house doesn't stink anymore.

      Oh yeah, something I wanted to rant about, a billing dispute that cropped up 3 months ago.
      Surgery was in August of 2023. A bill shows up for over $7,000 in January. WTF? I asks myself. I know that I jumped through all of the insurance hoops and verified this and triple checked that, as did the surgeon's office. All was set, and I paid all of the known costs before surgery.
      A looong story short, is that an assistant surgeon that was in the process of accepting money from my insurance company touched me while I was under anesthesia. That is what the bill was for. But hey, guess what? Some federal legislation was enacted last year to help patients out when they cannot consent to being touched by someone out of their insurance network. These types of bills fall under something called, "surprise billing," and you don't have to put up with it.
      https://www.cms.gov/nosurprises
      I had to make a lot of phone calls to both the surgeon's office and the insurance company and explain my rights and what the maximum out of pocket costs were that I could be liable for. Also had to remind them that it isn't my place to be taking care of all of this and that I was going to escalate things if they could not play nice with one another.
      Quick ending is that I don't have to pay that $7,000+. Advocate, advocate, advocate for yourself no matter how long it takes and learn more about this law if you are ever hit with a surprise bill.

      Some days I feel like an infiltrator... I'm participating in society as a "thin" person. They have no idea that I haven't always been one of them! 🤣

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL
