Severe Gas Pain Pre OP

[Teres36 49]

HAs anyone experienced severe gas pain during the Pre Op liquid diet? Every time I stand up and try to move around for anything the gas pains make me want to cry. Tried GasX and not much relief. This has been going on for two weeks. Any suggestions??

I did not experience gas pain pre op but had a terrible time with it post op. One of my friends that had sleeve surgery suggested activated charcoal capsules and I saw it on of the YouTube sleeve girl’s video blog. They are called Charco Caps and it saved me. Gas-X did nothing for me. I made sure it was okay with my surgeon to take them and he said it was fine. I would definitely ask your NUT and your surgeon about what you’re experiencing if they are available on the weekend.
Also and just as important walking will help get it out. Hope you feel better soon.
