Hi all. Surgery was Tuesday . Still in the hospital a secong night. I'm not passing any gas and the pain is pretty rough. The first night I was up every 2 hours to pee and walk then when I started clears today I started getting pain. It feels like I'm very distended and hurts a lot. I'm not regretting but wishing I felt good enough to go home.

Rainangel I am 4 day's post op and I still not been passing gas and ....omg the pain is getting so unbearable. The dr said the more I can walk the better I can pass it. I am not regretting I had the surgery but damn ( sorty for nasty )the could has keep this gas shit lol lol .

The gas will, for the most part, ease up as your new pouch heals, but walking is the best thing you can do. Walk as much as you can make yourself, and then walk a little more.

Hi All! 3 days post op and feeling good. Gas is moving out, Vitamins are moving in, and weight will soon be moving off! Can't wait. Major soreness, but no actual pain. Very blessed. Now just trying to "learn" a routine that's best for me for meds, vitamins, and food/fluid. Congrats to all before me and after and I wish you the best of luck!!!

Surgery went great Wed. Still in the hospital until sometime today (Friday). Be prepared for gas pains. The are horrible. My belly is hard as a rock, until I let loose.

Remember to walk walk walk!

i left yesterday. the first thing i did was take some gas x strips and a heat pad and i haven't stopped farting. I feel so much better. I'm only needing the lortab about every 10 hours today. so that's good. So far the heating pad and my gas x strips are my best friend. good luck to you all just getting here. and thanks everyone for the well wishes.
