Bloating And Gas Pains?!?!



Recommended Posts

How long do they take to go away?! It seems that they are the only thing that still hurt!!! I had my surgery 11/20/13, how much longer do I have to endure this pain?! Any tips or tricks to get rid of the gas faster?! Thanks!

Walking helped me when I had my band out and heat packs because the pain had gone into my shoulders.

I'm due to be sleeved in 7 weeks.

Keep up the great work 6lb in 3 days is awesome

If you're meaning the gas from surgery, it can take up to like two weeks.

BUT! then you could also have gas pains from food. I'm almost a month post-op and I still have gas pains from food.< /p>

One of the nurses from my surgeon's office had the bypass and she's four months out, still experiencing gas pains from food.

I'm two months bypass and the only time I have pain is with dairy products, Beans (actually in the chilli) or if I consume too much sugar. Greek yogurt doesn't bother me, nor non-fat cottage cheese, but milk itself yes. I use GasX, and walking, walking, walking helps especially so soon after surgery.

My gas pains went away by day 7. I walked A LOT and just moving around seemed to ease the pressure. My 1st couple of days, I felt like I had one of those Alien "chest burster" critters sitting under my ribcage. :-)

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞

        I may have to have gall bladder surgery during my weight loss surgery. Not thrilled about it either but do not want 2 recovery times. Just want it over with.

        Thanks for your post. I may need to rethink my decision... :(
