Im only day 5 post op from DS but I hate not knowing if what I'm feeling is normal or not. I get intense, often loud, rumbling of my stomach. Could this be gas still? Last night it was all night long, ever 10 minutes. I thought maybe it was hunger but so many people said they don't even feel hunger anymore. Should I just relax? Did others feel this? Thanks

hey, ive done the gastric sleeve not the DS but this might help! im 3 weeks post op but i may have experienced what you’re going through. gases are completely normal i experience them every while and then which makes me avoid some foods till now such as gum or straws or anything that will irritate your stomach. as well as drink as much as you can from Water or healthy Hot Drinks (tea isnt allowed yet) also the hunger is completely normal im still experiencing it until now i even had many mental breakdowns about it but trust me it gets better!!

Hey! I’m on day 14 and I felt the same way you did and was thinking the same thing.. but I think it really was just gas pains. The last 5 days or so have been a lot better. 🙂

        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!!
