Congratulations on your surgery! Just remember this discomfort will pass.

Congratulations. I’m 13 days post op. I found most of my pain was gas after the first few days (except when I stretched or twisted a lot). I popped the gas x and walked a lot to get the gas out. I can’t really feel any discomfort from my surgery now. It gets a lot better.

Keep moving and keep moving and keep sipping water and Keep moving

It will be all over shortly and the more you move the better - Congrads and welcome to the journey

Welcome to the other side! 6 days was the magic number for me when all the gas was gone. Hang in there!

Six days post and I too had gas pain but used the gas x and feel fine! No pain a matter of fact took my last pain medication first day of surgery and hadn't taken any since, except for Sunday when I over exerted myself and took some OTC (Aleve) that was approved by my physican and have been fine since. So, please take it easy and relax! My bariatric friends had to express this to me!LOLOL Feel better soon!
