I am 10 days post sleeve and gas when drinking liquids is one of my biggest issues! I seem to swallow an air bubble with almost every drink. I use Gas-X strips regularly and they seem to help a lot. I just try to slow down and change positions to help the bubbles move up and out. It does make it more difficult to get enough fluids in, as it is very time consuming. But, I will say, it does get a little better each day! Hope it goes smoothly from here! Best of luck to you!!!
