Just had surgery on Monday....my gas pains are terrible! I walked today plus used like a whole box of gas-x strips. Ugh! Hope it resolves soon :(

Walking was the only thing that helped the gas pains for me - I walked every hour on the hour. Gas-X didn't help because it was the gas they pumped into me that was causing the pain.

It will be gone soon - hang in there, it will get better.

aw wow! I am not sure if this is the same pain experienced by those with gallbladder disease...but if it is...I know your pain! with GD the gas and air was trapped throughout my entire digestive system. I was also in agony. the worst part was the problem couldn't be fully resolved until I had my gallbladder removed. sometimes the pressure, bloat and gas was so severe that I had to take shallow breaths...I couldn't even fill my lungs up fully without screaming in pain. my back, chest, under my ribcage, my sides...EVERYTHING hurt. hang in there, remember to walk, walk, walk it out, and I have seen others say gas x or Prilosec helped them immensely.

That's the thing, I'm felt like it never passed either through farthing or burping! Lol so idol where it went! But I had my drain tube removed yesterday and that made a big difference. Feeling a lot better without that! Not feeling naw much gas either.

I had my surgery Tuesday and have gas galore. I can't drink anything but Water because it is like a gas bubble forms in my esophagus. I get my drain tube out Monday. Fingers crossed that will help.

Yes, almost a week. It is really a nuisance and I hope when it comes out, some gas will go with it. The gas is really the only pain I am having other than just soreness.

This is exactly how I felt. I had surgery wednesday. I got my drain out today, and not only did I instantly feel better, a couple hours later I had the best fart/poop session evet! Hah. I'm still full of gas, but the pains are SO MUCH BETTER now that the drain is out.

Ditto. Getting my drain out was like a total release of pressure. Plus a nagging pain under my rib cage disappeared immediately.

It's also awesome how much easier it is to get up and sit down after she removed the drain.

I know!!! I'm not feeling like I'm dying every time I lower or raise myself off the toilet, which I was.

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

      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! 😞
