Just had surgery on 11/16

Has anyone tried gasx strips?

How are you doing after your surgery. Hope everything went out fine.

I had my week app. with my Doctor and going back to work tomorrow. Feeling god.

Yes what are the Facebook groups? That's exactly what I was looking for

There's:

November 2015 Women Sleevers

Gastric Sleeve and Bariatric Surgery Support Group

If you put in"gastric" "sleeve" or "sleevers" quite a few some up.

Had mine on Nov 18 still in hospital. I have gas pains all over especially shoulders. Any ideas how to help. I walk I breath. I am in so much pain.

I had mine on 11/10! My only issue is that my left shoulder is killing me ????

Got mine done yesterday, doing well, minimal pain or nausea. Good luck to anyone with surgery coming up

I had my surgery on 10/17 at 5pm......a 5hr delay from the original time of noon. I got so anxious during that 5hr wait that I'm still not sleeping well but I am one of the fortunate ones that really has had no problem with pain or gas. Right now though, the thought of trying to get some Protein powder in makes me sick to my stomach. Anything sweet sounds disgusting. Sure hope that continues as my downfall was sweets.Can't wait to get on the way to losing weight!!

I also had my sleeve done on the 16th. How are you feeling? How are you holding up with the gas pain?

Mine was November 11.

Anyone having trouble breathing normally? i can breathe but it feels like I can't take full breaths. I've been researching any people are saying that doctors have told them it's the gas.

I have the same problem. I'm very short breath and when I do try to take a deep breath in for some odd reason my shoulder start killing me

If you're having trouble with your shoulder it's definitely gas. It's such an annoyance! I've been lucky enough not to get shoulder pain.

I had mine on the 13th - so many questions! I'll be honest, I've been lurking about reading all the forums to find information the last few days.

Lovely little community

I had my surgery on the 11/11 and I'm feeling fine now. The anaesthesia and anti-nausea drugs had me completely loopy so it was difficult for me to stay awake in hospital.

I have so much heartburn and acid in my stomach it's crazy. Ive had to double my dosage of the anti-acid medication and that's still not doing it all.

I'm also finding that I can drink about 200ml every hour. It seems very high for what everyone else can do?

Mine is on Monday. I just joined...I didn't see a November 2015 support group. Where do you guys hangout on here?

There are a few on Facebook if you're interested in that medium.

Curvybritt I'm also drinking about that much - I was wondering if that was weird too. Any thoughts?

My surgery was on 11/10. And every since then my shoulder has been in pain! It never goes away.... ???????? nothing is helping me. ???????? Everything except of that is great! I'm able to drink 26-30 ounces a day. Which is good I guess, I have been able to do light workouts, and I haven't been in pain minus the shoulder issue. I just want the pain to go away! ☹️☹️
