They blow up your stomach and and your abdomen. The gas passes through burping. It feels like a pressure pushing from the inside out. Mine was gone through hiccups.. painful but it got rid of all the gas within 10 minutes!

Thanks! I was lucky. No pains or vomiting. I hardly used the pain meds in the hospital and the rx the Dr wrote, I only used half a pill to help with the head ache on day 3. I hope everyone has a breezy surgery like I have had.

I was sleeved on Oct 6th, I'm down 15 lbs already. As far as recovery, no issues. The biggest pains I dealt with were a head ache for two days post op and then being so tired and weak. I am going back to work tomorrow for at least half a day. Living off of Protein shakes and SF popsicles. The hardest obstacle was learning to drink all over. Sip by sip. Now I can take a little more than a sip. Tea helps quite a lot in getting in liquids. If I drink too much my stomach punches back though. Good luck to everyone.

Thanks for this topic. I am 5 days post op, my energy levels are so low. Like SCLosing it said, taking a shower is so exhausting I have to sit for a few minutes. I know I am suppose to be walking, but I don't believe I even have enough energy to do that. I find myself napping. I have to go back to work Monday, and there is no way I can function with this fatigue and light headed symptoms. What soups were you allowed to have ?

October 6th, scared, excited, anxious. 2 weeks...
