Need to pass gas - just home

My gas was horrendous and I couldn't release it. The combination of walking and mylicon drops began to help after a few hours. Its most painful in the first day or two, I'm now at day 5 and it only occurs if i take too big a sip.

Thanks!!! Glad we are doing better!

Walking is the only thing that will help move the gas around. When I came home I walked a lot only really had gas at night and mornings. Almost a month post op and it is gone.

Surgery 12/18. 8 days out. The gas was scary... I had a "loose problem" for a few days! Now it's normal but small since I am not really eating much. I went to stage II on Saturday since I was starving! That helped a lot. I have found that eating while standing up is much easier on my system. I have a 'pressure' in my stomach today. I fear I overdid today... Does anyone feel "healing" going on inside them?

Hi! 12/20 was me. Definately some pressure. Gas and normal per my doc - no pain now. I do get some pain in evening/night from the days collection of liquids in my intestines - and have had the reverse, Constipation.

I don’t stand I def sit up at table to eat tho

Yes- we are healing. I think it takes approx 4 months for full stomach healing. Go easy. Take naps.

        Have a great Wednesday too! Sorry you're hungry all the time, I'm pretty much the same..and I'm sick of eating the same food all the time.

      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!!

      Having gall bladder surgery in a few days and I so hope the recovery is easier than the one from the modified DS! I could use a bit of luck/pep talk for a change. I'm starting to be able to walk around without experiencing dizziness, but it would be great if the random pain in my chest and abdomen would go away!!
