I found to get some gas up was to put my arms on the table and lean my head between them trying to open up your throat air ways. After awhile I would burp... Also eat as slow as possible and only like half or Quarter of a teaspoon at a time.. Good Luck !!

Lay on your side and lift your leg up..also raise your arms over your head. I try not to lay flat either

Hi to you all! I had my surgery yesterday. Day of surgery was pretty rough. I'm a cheap date and don't tolerate very much pain medicine. I don't remember much from yesterday except walking in the hall with my eyes closed!! Lol

Today is much better. Passed the barium swallow and am sipping on Water and Protein punch, Soups. Up walking every two hours. My only real pain from my drain site and my throat is sore from the tubes. I'm using liquid pain medicine. Expect to be discharged tomorrow!

Sleeved 8.26.15. Still in the hospital. Just got taken off my pain pump. Have been having trouble voiding. Working on keeping fluids down if I can then i might get sent home this afternoon.. I've been moving around and try to do everything on my own. Good thing is I'm not really hungry. Just dry mouth.

My surgery was Wednesday also. I'm doing great. Barely no pain. Burping frequently to get rid of the gas and just a bit of nausea now and again. The medicine does help. Incisions hurt when I turn a certain way so...I don't turn that way. Do lots of deep breathing to get that oxygen so you won't get dizzy walking... How are you doing?

      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! 😞

      Iʻm roughly 6 weeks post-op this morning and have begun to feel like a normal human, with a normal human body again. I started introducing solid foods and pill forms of medications/supplements a couple of weeks ago and it's really amazing to eat meals with my family again, despite the fact that my portions are so much smaller than theirs. 
      I live on the island of Oʻahu and spend a lot of time in the water- for exercise, for play,  and for spiritual & mental health. The day I had my month out appointment with my surgeon, I packed all my gear in my truck, anticipating his permission to get back in the ocean. The minute I walked out of that hospital I drove straight to the shore and got in that water. Hallelujah! My appointment was at 10 am. I didn't get home until after 5 pm. 
      I'm down 31 pounds since the day of surgery and 47 since my pre-op diet began, with that typical week long stall occurring at three weeks. I'm really starting to see some changes lately- some of my clothing is too big, some fits again. The most drastic changes I notice however are in my face. I've also noticed my endurance and flexibility increasing. I was really starting to be held up physically, and I'm so grateful that I'm seeing that turn around in such short order. 
      My general disposition lately is hopeful and motivated. The only thing that bugs me on a daily basis still is the way those supplements make my house smell. So stink! But I just bought a smell proof bag online that other people use to put their pot in. My house doesn't stink anymore.
