3 Days Post-op And No Gas! Should I Be Worried?

[DisappearingDivis 36]

So I was sleeved on Dec. 16th and was released from the hospital today. I have yet to have any gas and before I left I asked if that would be an issue. They said no but if I had gas pain and no gas to call the doctor back after a while. Since I've had minimal pain I'm not sure what to look for. I just wanted to know if anyone has had a similar experience and if it's normal?

Count your lucky stars!!! As long as you aren't having problems going to the bathroom and you have had a BM, you should be okay. You must be doing exactly what you're supposed to do, walking, sipping, and generally healing fine! Good job!

My surgeon warms the CO2 he uses to help minimize the gas pain, perhaps yours does as well.

Good luck and welcome to the loser's bench!!!

I never had any gas or gas pains. I had no pain at all and had a great recovery. Consider yourself lucky and enjoy. I was expecting the worse and it never came.

Yup your darn lucky! But if the pain starts it's usually up in the shoulder blades. It's a really bad nagging pain, as well as in your lower tummy. Are you passing gas? Burping? If so that is wonderful, maybe you'll have missed that part of discomfort of the surgery! Lucky!!
