karenb4729 309 Posted June 21, 2012 For me the gas pains went away pretty quickly but I'm still feeling bloated and my surgery was on 6/4. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Darla5060 68 Posted June 21, 2012 My gas finally went away after 5-6 days, so you're close! Hang in there! It get so much better! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lehg520 12 Posted June 21, 2012 I am only 2 days out and the gas is probably the most painful thing right now. I just get up and walk around or stretch out as best I can when they hit. I was told that gas-x wouldn't help the surgical gas though, it just has to be absorbed and then passed. I hope it all goes away soon. Then I'll be ok.

DuranFan1969 119 Posted June 22, 2012 The gas lasted a few days for me but the bloating is still there - I was sleeved 06/13. The bloating needs to go!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
angelakay2 117 Posted June 22, 2012 i am 8 days post-op and the gas pains are starting to subside! I walk, walk, walk and walk some more. I don't go on long hikes, I will make a couple of rounds about 5-6 doors down and turn around. I do that very frequently so that i do not get exhausted but am moving. I do it all day and night. I'm sure a couple of my neighbors wonder about the crazy lady in the robe! lol Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
