Help please... 8 weeks post op and new gas pain



Recommended Posts

Trying not to freak out but I started having some abdominal cramping a few days ago and it's become pretty painful. I'm pretty sure it's gas pain but of course all the scary thoughts are going thorough my mind.

Had a mild fever last night but also felt stuffy. No fever this morning and don't feel like I'm coming down with anything major.

Before I waste time at doc or ER for dumb gas pain, please tell me what this might be and how to get rid of the pain. I've tried Gas X and it helps a little may be... Haven't been able to have a good poo in a couple if days either so I'm sure that's a contributing factor.

Thanks for talking a girl out of a tree!

the more you walk the better it gets!! also lots of gas X , only you can judge if something is truely wrong, if it gets worse then you may want to see your surgeon, do they have a line where you can call and speak with a nurse? that might relieve some anixety

Sounds like Constipation. A friend of mine literally thought she was dying went to er, just to find out that she was REALLY constipated. She used milk of mag. Took her a few days for things to get regular but she's better now.

Yup! After some X-rays the culprit is a need for a few BMs. Can't believe the pain that can cause, I was preparing for some major issue!

      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? 🤷‍♀️
