2 days Post-Op

Had my surgery on Wednesday, came home on Thursday. Doing pretty well other than these dang gas pains. Having a hard time even getting some water in right now.. Will keep plugging away at it. 

Walking as much as possible will help the gas pains!

We did it.   Glad to see that you are finally home. I hope to go home today and have updates on my site.  I am curious as to why some people have gas pain and other people have none. One of my fears going into surgery was waking up in severe gas pain.  But I woke up and had no pain at all and just had a little pressure on my chest and was gone after a few minutes.   Best of luck.  

Are you cold?  Going into surgery I was always hot. A room could be 70 degrees and I would drip sweat. Now my hospital room is 75 and I am shivering cold.  Strange

Hi after surgery I'm cold all the time, and l live in Florida go figure.  Stay warm.

I was told that due to diabetes my liver was enlarged and therefore required quite a bit if extra gas to give them room to work. My gas pain was pretty bad but got a lot better within 24 hours. 

I have had some wicked gas pains.. I'll be glad when those go away.. i feel great other than those. Had a little nausea, but not horrible.   The doctor told me i had done an awesome job on my pre-op diet and my liver was in great shape for the surgery. 

Yesterday when i first got home i was cold, today has been pretty normal for me..I'm usually warm (hot flashes, ya know) lol     So glad i have and had this forum to come to for information and support! Thanks!

 I also had severe gas pains.Nothing seemed to help.After four days it finally got better. They were worse in my shoulder ,some in middle of chest.

In the hospital and last night it was right under my breasts.. horrible!!  Today seems to be more in my shoulders.. maybe it is leaving my body!! I hope!

I wanted to say hi since our surgeries were close. Mine was Tuesday afternoon and I came home from hospital yesterday afternoon. I am not feeling the greatest but this is what I expected. I had horrible gas pains the first night that were so bad I could only sit strait up in a chair overnight. I am feeling much better in that area now sleeping on my side in bed. Drinking is still a challenge but I am pushing it a little. I find the Tylenol leaves me with a burning sensation in my esophagus. Overall I think things are going well. Good luck on your journey. Hope to follow along with your progress. 

I had my surgery on Tuesday as well and I came home on Wednesday. No gas pains, just a little pressure in my chest. Whatever I drink I can feel it going down and hitting my pouch! I have been walking non stop! I am so thankful to have this board to turn to. My biggest issue is wanting something more then clear liquid. I am so struggling with that.
