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!

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
