I am 1 week today post surgery. Dr Soong in Las Vegas did my surgery, I had it out patient and can honestly say it was not as bad as I was setting up in my head. My biggest issue is that I have had air caught up in my shoulder sine surgery and it has been very uncomfortable. I go for my first Dr appt on Monday, I will keep you posted!

hi have you tried hot green tea for the gas pain? it actually works.....lol

No I haven't, but I will sure try! Thanks for the advice!

3 things together will ease the gas!!

Gas-X Strips

Heating pad on wherever the pain is at the moment

WALKING, WALKING, WALKING

Did you have your surgery at the Las Vegas Surgical Center?

I had mine done there the same day, the 27th, by Dr. Soong.

I too have had problems with gas pain. Just in the past few days has the pain lightened up considerably. I do still have slight pain when trying to sleep though.

How have you been doing on the 3 week thick liquid diet?

That honestly has been the toughest part for me. For some reason I thought I would magically lose my appetite. HA!!!! But I'm still making it 1 day at a time.

Yes I had mine at the surgery Center also, mine was at 10:30am. The gas pain is fianlly gone and I went for my first visit today and lost 8 lbs. The thick liquid is rough, but I am making it through.
