I just had a sleeve revision to gastric bypass on 8/10/20. I am up more than twice an hour walking (even when I was in the hospital) and the gas pains are still going strong. Also I haven't been able to have a bowl movement since late Sunday night. I'm assuming this is normal since I've been on some major pain killers. I am taking a stimulant laxative (which does nothing) but does anyone recommend anything else? I'm still at about 4 to 6oz of clear liquids an hour but its so difficult. I will say that I am SOOO happy I got this done despite everything I had to go through pre and now post of and the pain of course. I had severe Gerd from my previous sleeve surgery and I literally couldn't eat anything without it coming up or getting the worst acid. So far NO acid reflux that it makes me cry from happiness daily. Sorry if this is TMI but I figured that's what this site is all about. Hope everyone is doing well and I would love to connect with anyone else who has had a revision or anyone who wants to chat!
Ps. My surgeon is fantastic and he even gave me his personal phone number so I can reach out to him at anytime but I just wanted to see what my fellow community has to say because clearly he has never experienced this operation.
