Alana:  It totally depends on your surgeon.  My surgeon does it to shrink your liver so it;s easier for him to work.  Ask your surgeon why or why not for you.

Hi Ladies! I am glad everyone is feeling relatively good. I know I am feeling so much better today! I have not had any nausea so I'm not sure how to help you but sometimes flat gingerale can help. I have had the gagging too, I just take a few minutes to breathe and it seem to go away. It is hard to get the protein shake and yogort down. I am wanting to get my water in more than anything else so i dont end up dehydrated. Good luck to all of you! It has to get easier, right?

Hey there ladies, I also had my surgery on the 6Th to day will be my  first full day at home....sooo true about the gas build up, I was dealing with that the yesterday on the ride home and all night.. I told my husband how jealous of him I was that he can pass gas on demand and me ,I have to take a few rounds around the block LOL sorry if that is TMI, but walking does help, I woke up feeling better today, sore yes, But I would rather deal with the soreness then the bloating any day, another thing I have delt with and any advice would be great, is nausea and gagging, not so much anymore, but every now and then I feel it creeping up on me. Well ladies I wish you all the  best!!!

Surgery went well, day one of post-op, except for the gas I am doing really good. I actually lost 12  lbs before surgery. Good luck to all waiting for you all to join me on the losers bench..

Hi Kaylee!  I had my surgery in the 6th also.  The soreness is getting better everyday, but yeah, I'm still pretty tender.  When they said that the gas build up is the worst, holy crap they were not kidding.  I was out walking around the block at 6 yesterday morning because I could hardly stand upright. As far as the liquids, I think I'm getting about half of what's on my sheet.  I FEEL like I've gained some weight, but I think it;s leftovers from the surgery.  Gas, liquid retention, etc.
I'm off to walk around the block again.  My dog loves my surgery.  He's getting 3 walks a day!  Hang in there!
