Bloated?

[Lulah 18]

Hi all, my very first post! Found this forum while doing some online research for the sleeve, have been getting so much useful information. I was sleeved on February 3rd, so far so good. Day 2 was by far the worst due to nausea, but that is all over now. I am able to get most of my liquids in, Protein Shakes, even some sf Jello. Everyday I feel a bit better, which is great. But I am still so bloated. I know they fill the abdomen with air for laparoscopic surgery and I am only a few days out, but when did you feel this subsided for you? Honestly, I look like I am pregnant again! I asked the dr about gas x but he said just try walking?

Thanks!

Walking is a great idea. I was really bloated for quite a while. Seems like a month or so. I also felt that I looked pregnant. It went away on its own. :-)

The gas pain was pretty bad for me post op, but it pretty much got better after several weeks. Just hang in there, it will get better!

I was sleeved on the 5th of February. The bulk of my gas pain went away the second and third day. I'm a stomach sleeper, and found myself sleeping on my stomach without realizing it, which helped release the gas. I'm still bloated, but not nearly much. I've got more swelling because I ended up with a massive hematoma across my lower abdomen.

Hi, I was also sleeved on February 3 and am also experiencing a lot of bloating and gas pains. I am doing a lot of walking, but it has not helped too much yet. I follow up with my surgeon on Wednesday so hopefully he can give me some tips.

Try Water, walking and gas x strips.
