Was sleeved April 30th. Down 44 pounds and two dress sizes. Of the 44 pounds 15 was pre op. I do get hungry quite a bit, but I can't eat a lot. Guess that's a plus....

Sleeved April 29. Pre-surgical weight was 278. Lost 50 pounds in 9 weeks. Working out consistently on elliptical. Dr. is concerned I am exercising too many days a week and Losing weight too fast. First time I ever had a Dr. tell me that before. I suppose I am getting bit obsessive.

Hi, my name is Jayme, I was just sleeved on June 28th, let me start by saying that was a horrific surgery, I'm so sore, I don't feel hungry at all, just a bit thirsty. I am six days out from surgery amd don't see a way to return to work just yet, I can't even get thru an entire shower yet without having gas pains rise into my shoulders, and cripple me to the point I can't even dress myself... what am I doing wrong, I feel like things should be better by now

Just keep walking as much as you can. I promise it will pass soon and you'll feel better!

It gets better with time I know you are probably hearing that a lot but really it does. I have quite a few what the hell did I do to myself moments. I was sleeved well revised from lap band on 5/23/13 and I am finally loving my sleeve.

At Ghp in Michigan we're given something for " bowel spasms" A pill taken sublingual every 4 hours. I set my phone timer to it and didn't have gas again. I think it was a 10 day prescription. Sorry, I can't remember the name and I'm not home. Did anyone know.?

I've not heard of it, that would be great if I could find gas relief

Gas ex strips worked wonders for me. The pills took forever to kick in. I also had my husband to kind of beat on my back and shoulder blades to break the gas up. Kinda like burping a baby but a little harder lol. The more you move the faster it will break up, too. I know it's hard. It gets better.

[jayme's journey 2]

I was thinking about those, something has to give seriously

Try a warm heating pad and some peppermint tea. It took me 3 weeks to reabsorb the gas pain in my shoulder. The shoulder pain is often from surgery, not the burping kind of gas.
