Did anyone find that gas x helped with the gas pain or strictly walking? Been walking A TON and while some is coming out pretty regularly, I'm still so uncomfortable...

operation was 2/22, discharging today...

Walking, walking, walking! And it takes a good 3 weeks to level out entirely - you will sound like an orchestra for awhile! Anesthetic and the air they pump into the abdominal cavity is the cause of the gas pains.

Hang in there, it improves daily. Also do not get dehydrated, carry Water with you always.

Walking, GasX strips, and fluids are helping me. I was surgery 2.20.18.

Drink drink drink and walk. It will start to feel better after 4-5 days. I remember the misery...

I took gas x, walked and layed on my left side. The left side trick was like a magic fart machine. :) Gas x helps once the gas makes its way into your intestines. Walking helps it move from your body cavity to your intestines.

Did anyone not pass gas 2 days post op? I have been burping but haven’t been able to pass gas




I pass gas on my third day... and I pretty much push it out cuz I want it to go home and they wouldn’t let me if I didn’t pass gas. So I walk walk walk than sat down on the toilet. Good luck and when your hear your insides growling you almost there .

        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!!
