StephanieWinters 2 Posted February 9, 2014 I just had my sleeve this past Tuesday, Feb 4. I spent one night in the hospital. The worst part so far has been the gas pains...especially in my left shoulder. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
skennedy1012 26 Posted February 9, 2014 I heard the gas pains are the worst. Is anything working to relieve it? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
StephanieWinters 2 Posted February 9, 2014 I'm taking gas x strips. The most helpful thing is walking. Unfortunately it hurts to burp, but you have to in order to get the gas out. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
