Just wondering, do you have much pain from gas? I haven't had surgery yet, but from everything I've read, just sip, sip, sip and make sure you are getting in your Protein and Water and that helps they say.

Actually right after surgery I was fine not much pain at all just uncomfortable and some pressure. walking definitely helps burping also. Now I'm home and I think the nerve block is wearing off so it's a little more uncomfortable but it's nothing horrible and I'm kind of a big baby when it comes to pain

Sounds like your doing great, I've heard people were in pain for the 1st week, then it gets much better.

Idk if all surgeons do a nerve block but I would def say it's a great way to stop the pain it will fade gradually and then completely after 90 hours that's what my surgeon said .

I had lots of gas in stomach but walking helps a lot. I didn't have any pain the first week. The second week wasn't pain but you can feel your stomach muscles rebuilding. It feels like if you do too many crunches. When my stomach muscles were sore (but not painfull) I also it felt in between my shoulder blades. It could have been gas too. If you don't have a heating pad, get one. I would lay on it and it soothed my back which helped my stomach. Or stand in a hot shower and let Water hit your back. The heat helps. It did for me.

Hello everyone I am new to this site, I recently just had the lap band done on November the 8th, while I was in surgery they had to remove a hernia and I have a horrible chest pain anyone else, I had the nerve block and it was great for the first 2 days , I haven't been very hungry at all.

I had my surgery on 11/8 at noon, so today is 3 day post op and I have moved on from all Clear liquids to some Proteins. Honestly I feel like the pain was less than that of the band, I specifically remember having trouble getting in and out of bed. However, the pain in my belly is like a combination of gas pain, pain and nausea. It's better today, although I get these cramps and pains after slowing sipping some liquids.

I did have what was called a "tap" which is probably the nerve block.

Just thinking positive - each day will get better.

My best advice to you is to follow your plan. As you start to feel better, you may be tempted to rush your diet advancement, but remember that you have a fresh line of staples along the length of your stomach and you'll *feel* better long before that staple line is completely healed. Keep up with your fluids, walk as much as you can and follow your surgeon's instructions.

I totally with the above. The best thing you can do is follow your plan. Cal, your doc if you have any medical concerns, stay hydrated and work on Protein . It is all very doable!

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
