I understand the gas pain, my doctor doesn't use drains. So I don't have one. I was sleeved on monday, I'm finally passing gas just started this morning, but I still have a ton of has in my abdomen, it will get better, hang in there. Give it a couple more days.

Sorry to hear you have so much pain. I got sleeved on the 4 and I had absolutely no pain. When I was at the hospital I only pressed my pain medication button 4 times and that's cause my doctor order me too. Lol. I'm just pain tolerant I guess who knows. Anyways, my coworker had the same procedure and like you had lots of pain. From what she says it slowly Subdues if you avoid moving too much and take your pain meds. Hope you feel better! And just remember the pain is all worth it. ????

If possible walk walk walk.... the first day was the worst for me as far as gas goes... I didn't even feel the drain. I tried the gasx strips and I don't think it really did anything for me. I litterally had my husband patting my back like a baby to help with the shoulder/back gas pains. Day two - PAIN FREE!!! So sorry you are hurting.... just hang in there.

Hi - I'm in the same boat as you. I was sleeved on Monday and had serious remorse yesterday due to all the pain due to gas/swelling. I haven't been able to get my fluids or Protein in and had a doom and gloom outlook. So many people have been supported and said to just sip, sip, sip, and walk, walk, walk. While you are the middle of the pain it's hard to be positive, but I can assure you that from even yesterday to today I feel so much better. With so many positive outcomes you have to believe and have faith that you will look back on this next week and know it was only temporary and a necessary part of the journey. Chin up and hang in there. We'll all get through this together.
