I had it all, dehydration and Constipation and still a little fresh off the table myself but I drank green tea and that helped. The more you walk the more the gas will "walk" its way out. Congrats and good luck.
Green tea is great...tough one to suggest because it is high in caffeine.... Decaffeinated if possible

Day 5 after sleeve, very tired, little energy, drinking 70+ oz. of Water a day. Premier shake is giving me the runs, taking 2 imodium to control that. Have lost 11.4 pounds so far. Also had my gallbladder removed at the same time as the sleeve. I'm planning to call my dr. tomorrow but does this sound like I'nm in the normal range of post op experiences? Thanks!

Did everyone leave their bandages on. I still have mine on. Underneath is steri strips. I'm not sure if I should let the air get to them or clean and change the bandages. Thoughts???

Surgeon told me to do exactly that
-may shower day after surgery and remove band aids (not to let shower spray directly onto streri-strips)
- steri-strips should be patted dry with a soft towel. Steri-strips will fall off in 5 to 6 days

My surgeon also told me same thing. Day after surgery shower then take off bandages keep steristrips on until they fall off. I’m post op day 7 now and I’ve only had about 1 fall off.

      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!!
