That's exactly what happened with me, now I'm afraid to try any I pretty much just got most of the gas out. Also, did you have any issue with a BM? 4 days out I haven't gone yet?

At Day 8, I still had not had a BM. So, that night it took chewable Senokot. Had a BM the next morning. Nothing the following morning. Nut a BM this morning. So, hoping my body is getting back on track. When I had my one week post-OP appt with my program, they say no BM for 4-5 days is normative after WLS. But, not 8 days. So, that's why I took Senokot.

Sorry to hear about your complication but I’m glad to know that other than the gas part you are doing well! I’m super nervous about my surgery on the 26th!!

I was super nervous too I almost canceled at the last minute. I have a great support system even though I’m alone my family wanted this for me for so long. Just keep remembering the surgery is easy. It’s probably the safest surgery you’ll ever have.

What does your surgeon say about what you are experiencing? May be helpful to get checked out by your team.

@BRittenhouse I'm sorry your having such a bad time, I don't have 7 children but I do have a lot of animals that can't understand why they can't sit on me and why I can't play much. I had mine on 4/15 and still only on clear Water and stomach feels like severe cramps, I did wake up today and the pain was a lot less, so all I can say is Day by Day, do you have a support system to help? Hang in there, it's got to get 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!!
