Surgery was a success!

congrats!!

Can't wait to join you.

Congrats!

Like they say walk and sip they both help a lot with the gas.  I also highly recommend having Gas-x (check with your doc) on hand when you get home, it made a world of difference for me.

Cheers,

Hey Jay!!  Congrats!!!  Those gas pains are a killer-  all you can do to stop it is walk.  Do the have you hooked up to the handy dandy morphine pump?  That helps..lol.

Again- congrats and get some rest!!

Congrats and good luck to ya.

Oh wow!  Already done!  Congratulations on your surgery and get ready for a wild wild wild ride....By summer time, you're gonna feel so much better.  Believe me, it won't be hot anymore but, cooler! ha ha

Thanks everyone for your kind wishes and encouragement,

I guess I have had one "minor" complication, gas trapped near the top of the stomach and a 101.0 degree fever.  This has earned me an extra day in the hospital, three enema's, and increased pain medication.  As I stated before, the gas pain has been brutal, but it ended up getting worse.

I'm holding up, walking my laps, only thing I can get down is apple juice and popsicles.  The broth and jello..... not so much,

Thanks again fella's!

Congrats on the WLS.  Get a toilet plunger, lots of fluids, and remember your vits/meds.. You must bottle the gas.  We all need more bio-fuel LOL  LOL
Good luck

Great news about the surgery! As far as the gas pain, I found that walking helped with that. But, you're right it can be brutal. WELCOME TO THE LOSERS BENCH!!!
