I've been sleeved! 2/20/17

Please tell me how to get rid of this gas pain. 2 days post op and omg. I've been walking and burping but I want it all out now.

My surgery went well. Surgeon said I did great and he know I'll be a success story. I'm excited! But please what can I do to alleviate this gas real quick? Help!

Walk, walk, walk! Try gas-x strips and make sure you are using your Spirometer. It is not fun, I know! This too shall pass...good luck with your journey...



WALK.... WALK... WALK.... Did I say WALK again!!!! The gas has to be released, in order to do so you have to move around, trust me I know, everyone knows that they aren't a happy feeling. I would highly suggest Gas-X Strips, they work wonders, I'm only 1 month Post-Op and I faithfully keep them in my purse along with Zofran, have to stay prepared at all times.

On my way home..Yeaaaaah






I was discharged yesterday evening. Now I'm trying to walk around so I can get this gas on out of me. But I feel okay. Just want a healthy and speedy recovery for us both.

Thanks so much, praying the same for you as well. No gas pains for me just some pains with the healing. Nothing major, my PA said get tired of doing a WHOLE LOT OF NOTHING for 2 weeks. Nothing more than nothing until she sees me in 2 weeks. So I'm doing just what the Dr.Ordered......NOTHING[emoji23][emoji23][emoji23][emoji23][emoji23][emoji23], and staying hydrated.

I'm doing good, some tenderness but I'm ok. Has the gas x stripes been giving you any relief? I've been passing gas and belching pretty good[emoji23][emoji23] (tmi I know) . Prayers that you start blasting gas!!![emoji23][emoji23]

We had surgery the same day. I pooped today! Hallelujah! I think the decaf coffee helped me. I still feel weak at times on this liquid diet.

Yeah pooped!!!!! I haven't yet. Glad your doing well. I'm not a coffee drinker, but I'm drinking apple juice. Do u drink it hot r cold? And how any ounces? I may have to try some.

Cold stuff i cant take well, but i can kill a popsicle. All my liquids are either hot or room temp. For some reasons i feel cold and then get hot not sure what that is all about. Im gone try that apple juice this weekend. Apple juice should make you poop.
