Congrats! The gas will get better in time. It's all a journey. So strap I'm and get ready for a awesome life changing ride. This is a tool so understand what your body is telling you. All things in its time. It actually could take a few months to be so called normal but again so worth it!! Best of luck to you!! Enjoy your new life!!

Heating pads work for the gas! I lived with my heating pad that first week and a half! The left side pain is normal, too. It is where the biggest incision is made due to it being the area where they pull out all that stomach , but it too will go away in due time .
