most posts I have seen say a couple days and you start feeling better.... sorry you are so uncomfortable. At the risk of sounding like a parrot "Walk walk walk and sip sip sip"

I know this sounds like a broken record, but really walk, walk, walk - it really will help! I hope you feel better soon!!!

Yup. Walk and walk some more. That is the only thing that will get rid of the gas and the pressure. I was walking the day following surgery around the hospital and going round and round in my hospital room at night. Even when I got home I still had gas and again, it was walking, walking, walking. After a few days it feels better.

Walking will help get rid of the gas. If you have actual pain, keep using the liquid lortab. I'm on my third bottle. Dosage down to every 12 hrs so I'm doing better than 1st week when it was every 4 hrs.

Also, find a real medical supply pharmacy and get a stomach binder! It was a life saver for me. Night one the wife sacrificed one of her control top panty hose for me. God bless her:biggrin0:

Hang in there but don't hesitate to call the docs office. That's what they are for.

Access to a hand held shower helps too.

It sucks now, but I promise it gets better quickly. I was feeling pretty good by day 3 (not marathon running good, just walk around the block good). I hate to tell you though.... it was about 7 days before the gas was really gone.

Congratulations!

As the others say, it does get easier... each day gets easier.

Good luck

The trapped gas hurts, but as others have said, the walking really helps it to disperse. I didn't know that my lungs would feel restricted, but had some great help on here, to breathe in through your nose, and blow out of your mouth as hard as you can - this also helps to disperse the gas.

Good luck and keep your chin up!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

      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.
