Has anyone experienced pain in the stomach not necessarily incision pains but actual upset stomach pains? Last night I was up for hours with an extremely upset stomach that was constantly rolling, gurgling, gassy, etc. should I be concerned? It kept me up for hours.

When were you sleeved? I was sleeved on Friday and my stomach won't stop talking. I know it's gas pains cuz the moment I started rocking in place to loosen up, I began belching and a lot of the noises stopped.

Call Doctor.

Thanks. I did call the doctor. They are thinking it's a lactose intolerance. I cut out dairy today and felt better. I did try a pudding cup and was miserable after with nausea and gas. I'm thinking that's it. I'll keep trying to cut it out for awhile and then try to add back.

I got chewables too, was afraid to chew them thinking it was gonna get stuck, but the gas pains were horrific. I have had two chewables with no problem. Woot woo. Gas pains have subsided... THANK GOODNESS!!!

I asked the pharmacist at Target and he orders it for me at no extra charge. Now I just call it in to him and he orders it and is in the next day. They really help me a lot.

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
