Extreme Gas/Abdominal Pain



Recommended Posts

I had my surgery on December 22, 2016 so I am a little over one month post-op. I ended up back in the hospital for severe dehydration and nausea and they released me with no new medications. I have been having horrible gas pains since the day of surgery and even with Gas-X and Pepcid being taken regularly, it hasn't subsided. I have met with 2 surgeons and a dietician and they're all telling me that I kind of have to just deal with it for now. I get nauseous every time I eat, then I continue burping until I feel like I have to vomit and end up dry heaving. The problem is that I'm so miserable. I had to withdraw from all of my classes for the semester and I've taken weeks upon weeks off of work. I don't know what to do anymore. It seems like nothing is helping. Any suggestions?

What are you eating? Have you cut out dairy?

Just had my surgery Feb. 2 now the pain I'm feeling is from JP drain starts in front where incisions are and travels to right side towards my back. Is this normal or should I be worried?

I am having a similar reaction. Gas-X and Alka-Seltzer don't touch it. I'm not vomiting but get nauseas. I was sent home with nausea meds to be mixed in with apple sauce. Unfortunately, I am having a bad reaction to anything with fruit and any dairy. My food intake is 1/2 cup of something at lunch and the same with dinner, with only a cup of tea for Breakfast. I am miserable.

Are you walking? That really helps alleviate gas post-surgery. As well, make sure you're drinking at least 64 oz of water/fluids a day.

Helena I also was hospitalized for severe dehydration and spent almost a month there with part of it in intensive care. I couldn't eat or drink which of course caused the p obelisk. My doctors prescribed Protonix and Sucralfate for the acid and stomach. They are a Godsend! Regular acid blockers didn't work for me and believe me I tried them all. I am able to eat anything except milk and sugar products as they make me nauseous. Now I don't regret having the sleeve!

      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.
