for those with sever gas pains from the co2 and gastric sleeve



Recommended Posts

I'm about 53 hrs out of the gastric sleeve surgery and about 24 hours back home...i found that the worst part was the gas... I bought some almond milk mixed with coconut milk by a brand called silk and I've been able to drink a satisfying amount without it having it come back up and I've felt the gas pangs have subsided since...ive drank about 6 ounces over 5 hours and though the bloating is still there the gas pangs have calmed severely.. obviously I'm not a doctor I'm just spreading this discovery p..s. the mini fridge I bought for my room upstairs but those cactus coolers are not mine lol...

I did forget to mention I've done a lot of walking. alot. ... and that's helped with the bloating and the co2 gas trapped in the abdomen.

I’m three days out post op and i experienced a ton of pain from the gas the first day i was in the hospital. Eventually i was able to pass some and since I’ve been home I’ve had more soreness and pressure in my stomach area and a little in my back due to sleeping. I’m still trying to find my hitch in that. I’m walking too but I’m not allowed any milk products for at least two weeks, only Clear Liquids so for me it’s broth and Jello and Water and clear Premier Protein drinks. Good luck with your new journey

I guess the doctors orders varies....the coconut Water and savila(aloe vera drinkable) are clear liquids with an almost gel like texture.... today i just started getting gas pangs in my back and neck too. the walking helps a lot but I was told not to overdo that too.. forgive me for being crass but I started to expel gas the other way as well. I've been looking up light yoga techniques having to do with expelling trapped gas and I guess any progress is good. good luck as well with yours.

        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!!
