I felt great coming out and walked almost immediately. However my doc only gave Toradol and I went without for almost 9 hrs. I cried like a baby, the gas pains were comparible to child birth. Only one serious episode though. Now just completely distended on post op day 4. Very little pain though. I would say walk and sit up right, and use your incentive spirometer... But I did that above and beyond and it didn't help. The good thing is it will pass. Hang in there.

Thank you, thank you I'm not alone. I'll keep walking, and the clear liquids. ????

Hello Sleevers, I am a newby and am having real concerns. My abdomen is so distended and seems to be getting worse. I feel fine, am without a temp, on Clear liquids, and with only mild incisional pain. Can anyone please advise? Beetrow

That makes me feel better. Thank you. I'm not alone.

Thank you for responding. I have only lost 4-5 lbs and am drinking only clear liquids. My stomach is very distended, taut but not rigid. I hope so Kate, is a bit concerning. no tube left in, just sleeved.

Hello All, Newbie here, sleeved 12/06. 4 days post op. My concern is my abdomen is so distended and taut. Its uncomfortable due to the gas. I feel fine otherwise. Getting my liquids in, walking a lot, very little incisional pain, but the gas, which of course, does not move is so uncomfortable. Is this normal, or should I be concerned? Thank you in advance for any and all advise.
