No one told me

My surgery was Feb 2 and I am still having grummbling. Some days are worse than others. My doc says its normal to have gas and lots of "movement" in the belly cus things are waking up and working to heal. It is annoying though. My husband thinks its sooooo funny!

Today has been alot better on the noise and gas front here.  Phew!  I think it was partly my hormones.

i had it all after my wls also & yes it is most likely gas. WALK, WALK, WALK!!! it really does help alot!! get a box of the Gas-X thin strips they were by best friend for about a month after surgery, it does get better though!!

i have the rumbling and all that ALL THE time!  i figured it was the old stomach....when you find out let me know...i have my 2 week post op with the dr tuesday...so if i find out, ill let you know!

Me too..... One night after surgery I dreamed I was pregnant and the "gas" was my baby moving....LOL

I had the band and know that feeling!!!

I got the simethicone (gas-x) chewables... and I felt so much better. Don't forget to walk! A LOT.. just keep walking - I even tried getting on the treadmill (LOWEST setting and NO incline.. for a few minutes) just to get my legs moving. That walking helps move it around and keeps the pain at bay.

Also, are you getting enough fluids? I have to get in 64 oz a day.. make sure you're meeting your requirements on that (could be that your stomach wants more! possibly?

Hang in there, it'll be over before you know it..
