Congratulations on your surgery. To help with pain use a heating pad. The heat helps. The nurse had told me the gas wants to leave the body and has no place to go.

For a little relief, lay in a recliner with your hips and legs a little higher than your body. The gas will move to your hip area where there is more room and then when you turn upright again your body will absorb some of it.

Then walk, walk, walk...

I was getting severe gas pains Nothing worked for me not walking, not a heating pad, not gasx, not tums... I ended up calling my surgeon they gave me a pill that dissolves under my tongue also that same day i started taking 1 Fiber Gummy. It helped me tremendously i am 1 week post op still have slight gas but nothing like before

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
