Gas pains!

Just got sleeved a couple of hours ago and these gas pains are killing me! I think the gas pains have been the worst part of this whole day!!

Congratulations! You ain't seen nothing yet. You are so right, the gas pains really are the worst part of the entire surgery. And, they stick around for a few weeks. But it does get better everyday. Walking as difficult as it may be made the biggest impact on the gas. Enjoy your narcotics the next few days but get off of them as soon as you can tolerate since they contribute to the gas. Good luck. I was sleeved on Oct. 14 and today I did a 6 mile walk and my clothes already feel a little loose. I wake up feeling really good about my decision each day. Good luck in your journey. Now hit the narcotic pump and nod off.

Had mine done Monday, I'm home now... You going to have to bear the gas pains, a lot of my pain was from my drain tube. A world of difference once it removed. Congrats. And hang in there.

Walk, walk, walk, and then walk some more. Try raising your arms straight up over your head. That seems to help also.

If you can get your hands on some GasX strips that really helped me. And like someone else said, walk as much as you can, it will help to get the gas up and moving out! Hope you have a good nights sleep!
