Yes, I had my surgery yesterday morning. The gas is pretty painful. The nurses said it's normal for the gas pain to radiate to your chest, arms, back... It sucks. Hoping it will let up soon.

I didn't feel hot though.

I did! They hurt so bad, and were hot and itchy! I don't know what it was but the nest day they felt a lot better!

Almost immediately after surgery I felt very hot. I had the temperature turned down to 65 degrees in the room. Freezing everyone out. It did go away though. I would have episodes everyday for a little while and it wasn't dumping as I was on clear fluids followed by full liquids. As we heal our bodies tend to run hotter it promotes healing. Sometimes we will develop low grade fevers as we heal. I just made sure to check my vitals at home everyday after surgery. Temperature, blood sugar, blood pressure and pulse. I logged it every day along with my food and liquid intake and how I was feeling that day. It is a tremendous tool. If it persists call your surgeon and express your concerns. You employed them to do your surgery. It is their job to care for you and monitor you. Utilize them...everything is going to be alright. Keep up that communication. I am now approaching the one year mark and have reached my surgeons goal weight and am almost to my personal goal weight of 135 lbs. If you should need any encouragement or tips feel free to message me. I have really enjoyed becoming a mentor and have a passion and thirst for all knowledge regarding bariatric surgery. You are going to have a lot of new and different sensations within your body but remember you are now physically different. New sounds, new sensations...you are going to do great! Take time to heal well. Don't push it, especially in regards to lifting. Let those wounds heal.
