what is up with the insane amount of gas you have following the surgery? before the surgery i was a heavy soda drinker.. and i never had the amount of gas and belching before the surgery as i do now....

How far post op are you? There's a lot of gas post op from the surgery that has to work it's way out.

today was my 3 full day post op...

You JUST had surgery. It'll die down in a couple of days.

I just had surgery 3 days ago, LOTS of gas. I believe the gas they pump you up with to do the surgery has to work its way out

It does it DOES! Update: I was not afflicted at surgery, just had another endoscopy, a different doctor. He did the traditional then went down farther into the ileum, almost to level of a high colonoscopy. Had to have pumped gas in to be better ascertain. An gastroenterologist instead of the General/Bariatric surgeons I had been having. An hour- abd- half after I got home the pain set in, under both shoulders and across my chestn and I toured with the idea that I was DYING! Couldn't sleep, finally sat up , figured if I died, at least my son wouldn't find me in bed. And the Emergency Squad, the way my house/apartment is set up with no doorways in a straight linr, they would not be able to get the gurney in. I have lost over a 120 pounds since surgery , much thinner but still an Ample Sample of WomanFlesh. The living room you would have to make only one sharp turn through the dining room, so feasable if necessary. Finally somebody mentioned GAs , I took my walker because I could not stand up straight enough for my cane and started walking. Still got evaluated at the ER because I wanted to make certain I didn't have any ❤damage, so sue me, I AM 73, you surely don't suspect anything else! And THAT is a whole nother story, a quickly EKG, blood draw and left me in the ER lobby for 5 hours in a Wheelchair. If I had been pregnant I could have delivered and enrolled the baby in Head Start while I was there!
And way back before surgery I was a soda pop drinker, even a few times beer or ale, NEVER THIS MUCH GAS AND NEVER THIS MUCH PAIN! Delivering Tomkitten at 9 1/2 pounds and a natural vaginal birth, a summer picnic in comparison! Going to tell Dr Ipchurch, the GI, if he is harbour ring any delusions of a follow-up colonoscopy aim staying awake to make sure he doesn't get too Pump- Happy!
So Brothers and Sisters if I teased and tormented you all about being Gas-Wusses I'm Sorry, on my Am I. So Sorry, IT IS VERY REAL!???
