2 Days Post Op - Gurgling stomach and upset stomach



Recommended Posts

Hey All,

So today was my first day home after having Gastric Bypass on Wednesday, 1/30. All day my stomach has been gurgling and I ended up slowly running to the bathroom with an upset stomach and lots of gas several times.

At first I was excited not to be backed up from all the pain meds, but it’s happened all day now. Is it normal to poop 6-8 times so soon after surgery? Is it a reaction to a new medication/vitamin or something I’m drinking? Any ideas?

I had my surgery the day before you, but haven't had the issue you are having.

Honestly, I would not worry as long as you are drinking your fluids to ensure you do not get dehydrated. Our pouches and new intestinal tract are going to react somehow, someway to let us know they aren't happy with us.

Feel well!

I had my sleeve done the day after you, and I am experiencing the same gas issue, but mine hasn't come out at all. It's causing some not so nice pains in the gut!
Did you try taking gas-x?

Thanks for responding! Gas-x is a good idea, I’ll look into that and see if it helps. I didn’t get much sleep and was in the bathroom most of the night. Hoping these first few uncomfortable days pass quickly for us all!

Be sure and take your omeprazile.

        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!!
