Welcome to the losers bench! I have not had your surgery, but after a moajor op your are bound to feel uncomfortable. It does get better but I am sure a sleever will be along to offer more pratical advice. I wish you a speedy recovery.

Hi Saffrons well done on having your surgery, the weight will now start dropping off.
The wind does get a bit easier each day, I always found hot drinks helped the most but you must keep moving around, you'll keep hearing it but it really does help.
I was told to take Omeprazole for 2 weeks before my op and then 6 weeks after, its an anti-inflamitory for the stomache and controls the acid in there to stop heartburn. Have you been prescribed anything like that from the hospital/doctors? If not could you speak to them or your gp on monday and get a prescription it stopped me feeling any heartburn.
The other advice is follow your bodies feelings if you feel tired make sure you sleep and get some rest, but while you feel active do keep moving, it keeps everything flowing round your body and helps it recover.

Hi Saffrons
I am 12 weeks post sleeve, felt pretty much the same with wind pain for up to a week plus felt a bit bruised just under ribs as well, as for heartburn I take omeprazole daily from GP which helps but sometimes I still have to take gaviscon tablets when I get a bit heartburn (usually in afternoon for some reason).
It does get better so hang in there.

had my gallbladder out at the same time because i had lots of stones and was having painful attacks, well i am starting to feel a bit better i am just wishing the days away till i am pain free, i know it will all be worth it in the end. Adam it was good to see you too, how you getting on? x
I'm alright, still some of the windy feelings especially if I drink something it can be quite sharp a pain but it goes away quick enough. Feeling the wounds getting a little tighter now as they start to heal up too. I'm also eating stupid amounts of yogurt, lol
Good to hear you are feeling a bit better:hug99:
It is a good job getting your gall bladder out at the same time as so often others have to have this done down the line.
Good to hear you are making progress Adam:hug99:
Hi Saffrons-glad to hear the pain is easing-
we've all moved along the bench for both you & Adam
You don't want me on the end of the bench, everyone else will lift up!
