Newly Sleeved, Tired And Gas Pain



Recommended Posts

Sorry if this is TMI.. but what I would give to burp and... ___ . I have been having gas pian since I woke up from the surgery. They had given me different medicine in the hospital for it but if I wasn't falling asleep then the pain really didn't go away. I'm at home and have been taking Gas x strips. But I'm discouraged because due to the pain I can't tell if Im' full from eating. Granted I havent been able to take much in but I dont think Im getting enough. Today is day 4 and i'm at home... so I can try to stick to the regimen in place. If anyone has been through this some encouragement is all I really need right now.

I couldn't drink until my 3rd week post up, and all I could have then were mushies; I was told by my team that the first weeks drinking was more important. Drinking juice, gatorade, Soup broth, and Water. Plus it gives your tummy time to heal better, and avoid leaks.

I had those gas pains for a good 4 or 5 days after surgery I noticed that walking as uncomfortable as it may be helped so much!

I was sleeved on Monday. The surgeon also repaired a large hernia and that's actually the only thing that is hurting. I'm telling you, it was a horrendous experience. After the surgery I couldn't even keep Water down - just retching and sliming... just awful. I had to stay for a second night and then the doctor ordered an upper GI (I was wondering how I was going to keep that awful "shake" down). Well, I did, and it showed there were no leaks and no blockage. So guess what it was.... the stomach bug. Of all things to have when going in for this kind of surgery. Oi vey ! I'm home now and I am going to be fine. Oh, and I lost 13 lbs pre-op, but I have no idea what I weigh today. Everyone is absolutely correct - walk !

Walking is the best thing to get the gas out... (of both ends) Once I started passing the gas, I felt soooo much better! Burping wasn't doing it for me. Good luck & don't hold back on the release of gas, just let it out!

      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. 🤞
