Sleeved on 8/22, 6 days ago. Experiencing severe bloating, unbearable pain and gas pressure, no sleep. Taking meds as prescribed (omeprazole, pentazocine), beano, infants gas relief, gas x. I burp, I have had a bout of diarrheal and have passed gas but I am still very bloated. I have had no relief. Any advice?

Thanks so much for the hope. Discouragement sets in when you are unsure if there is something really wrong. I found that the heating pad does give some relief. I need to return to my regular routine pretty soon but with Gods help and all the great information and compassion from you all, i made it through another day.

Thank you for the suggestion, I appreciate it. I have been trying to sleep with a heating pad. Is it normal to have these issues this far out from surgery?

Great idea, I will try that today. I was just a little discouraged because it seems that most of the other sleevers haven't mentioned this much pain 5 days out. I know it will get better . All the wonderful people like you are helping me through this. Thanks a million.

Thanks for the suggestion. I will look for that tomorrow. Hopefully I get some relief soon this pain is unbearable.

Thank you so much for the answer but amid all my pain I forgot to mention that my pain was in my stomach ( gas pain). Do you have any suggestions of what I might try besides the things I listed earlier?

This is my first post but I need help. I had my sleeve done on August 22, and was released on the 24th. I have not had one good night sleep as of yet. I walk often , I probably walk every hour. I have tried the simethicone drops and Bean O. Is this normal , I am already 5 days post op. Does anyone have any answers.
