I'm 4 days post op and feel miserable. My stomach is tight and has lots of pressure. My chest hurts (maybe from gas idk) and I'm nauseous. Some people say this is normal because I just had a major surgery but then some say theyre already back to normal by now. So I'm getting scared :(

I'm 4 days post op as well. I am still sore, but my stomach is not tight. Are you walking? That helps to move the air and gas out. I haven't had any nausea. You may want to contact your surgeon just to be sure

I'm 4 days post op too. GAS-X, GAS-X, GAS -x strips !!!! I think gas pain is worse that the incision sites. I've been walking as much as I can too. I had some nausea yesterday but that was because I didn't use my suppositories (hope that's not too much TMI). And gas pain can feel like it's everywhere, once you get that managed you might feel better. Of course, call your surgeon if you're scared. Hang in there, we've almost got this first week down! :)

I just mean tight when I stand up because my stomach hangs so it feel like it's being pulled or tugged at, making it feel right. But yes I am walking quite a bit :)

Thank you! I've been using the strips and walking quite a bit :) how much Protein and Water are you able to get in? I don't get nauseous often. I just sometimes get intense nausea out of no where for like 2-3 min and then it's gone. Is your chest sore at all? I have to hunch over when I walk because if I stand up straight, it pulls all the muscles in my stomach which are really sore. This may be what's made my stomach sore. Plus I've been dealing with a remaining cough from a cold I had like a month ago. Thanks for the motivation at the end! That made me smile and realize that we really are so close to a week out :) feel free to message me so that me can keep in touch !

I'm 5 days post op and my stomach is still tender. Hurts to bend and if I sit up a certain way it feels like it's pulling and hurts.

Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

I hope you feel better soon. It hurts when I get up and walk because my stomach feels tender and also feels like it's being pulled. It's such a weird feeling. Makes me hunch over and have to hold my stomach when I walk. I girl a know that had hers the same day I did, went shopping for hours today and then came home and sat in the floor and wrapped Christmas gifts. I'm no where near ready for that I know everyones different but still

Gasx and Codine are my new best friends. I also put a wrapped ice pack on my main incision...much better. We all will heal differently...and I'm sending positive thoughts your way.

Thank you so much love. I will have to try the ice pack technique. How are you feeling? I'll be praying for you! ❤️

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
