Any december surgies out there???

Hero I had mine done on the 11th also. I was I terrible gas pain yesterday. I am way better now. I took some milk of magnesia and some gas x. It took about 7 hours to work but I feel 100 percent better now

What kind of MoM and Gas X did you take? I just threw up a little which I'm guessing is from not taking my pain pill with any food at 2am. Uugghhh!!

Its the dollar general brand of moms called geri care.....and the gas x is the 125 mg softgel

Hey, don't forget, if you feel something is really wrong, call your doctor. My surgery is next week, and I'm dreading the gas pain, but try to walk as much as you can....they say that's what dissipates the gas. I'm sorry you are having such a hard time... "this too shall pass" (haha, gas joke)

It really does get better as time goes on. During the first couple weeks I felt awful and regretted the surgery. Now at almost 5 months I feel great and feel like I'm actually living and not just existing. Hang in there. It will get better!

I'm trying to walk often it just hurts so bad. Definitely never experienced anything like this in my life. Feeling a little better today. Started my vitamins, had some applesauce for breakfast and now enjoying a protein shake. Going to have my dad go out today and get the Gas X and hoping to be able to shower today as well.

I'm finally home. Yay! I got to shower before I left the hospital. There were complications with mine. But I'm on the mend now. Gas pain: walking helps, iv pain meds help, laying on the pain side helps because gas rises and it helps move through the system. They gave me xrays to find blockages. They made me drink contrast solution. The contrast solution causes diarrhea. I think I'm finally over the diarrhea. At home I'm trying to stay hydrated, keep up my full liquid diet, keep walking and ankle pumps. But mostly I'm resting. My pain is still around 3 on the 10 scale. I hope I feel better before two weeks from now. I hope we all do.

Glad you made it home hopingnomeds. Hero I got the soft gel gas x but I believe the gas x strips would be better, atleast that what I been told on here. Funny I would feel like a million bucks if not for the gas pain. But its so much better than yesterday. We are going to make it

I just sent my dad out for Gas X and coloring books. I agree, I'd feel great if it wasn't for the gas pains. Going to try to take a nap. I was able to shower and get all my vitamins in so far. Also had a little applesauce and working on my first protein drink. One thing I will say about this surgery, every ounce of dignity I've ever had is out the door. Guess a hospital stay will do that to ya. Just longing for a night where I sleep all the way through and am comfortable.

Wishing yall a speedy recovery. It gets better and easier. I'm 2 weeks out Monday. Still on stage 2 foods and getting my precious little pouch used to new foods.

Thanks everyone! I hope the same. I'm almost ready to recommend this RNY again. Almost, but not yet. :-( Maybe tomorrow.

Oh right! Someone else mentioned gas-x strips since we shouldn't be taking pills yet! Thanks for that reminder!!

Mine is dec 23 2013

Good luck on the 23rd. Can't wait for you to get on the loser bench with all us losers

Thanks

My pain's still there. But it's mostly incision and"gut" pain. Not gas pain. I can again recommend this RNY to all who need it. I hope my posting's haven't dissuaded any here from going through this. Please remember to do everything recommended by your medical staff. Especially the pain meds. Walk when they say. Lay on the pain side cause gas rises and moves through you better that way. At home, do what they told you to do. And a few days later, hopefully sooner than me, you'll feel like you can recommend this again too!
