Newbie looking for Oct sleevers!

[trisey 17]

OMGOODNESS !!! Attention all sleevers that have already gotten there sleeve done....
Does ANYONE still have gas pain? If so, how do you relieve it?
I have terrible gas in my chest everytime I eat. I walk alot and I sip but my god this gas don't quit. TMI but I totally wish I could fart more often. I have the gas x strips but it's almost like they don't work. i mean they work a little but not as much as I would like. Does anyone have an alternative? I'm dying it's like having labor contractions in your chest. Sometimes I won't eat for fear of the pain. Just sip Water or a proetin shake. I started soft foods yesterday but this pain has been here since the surgery. PLEASE ANYONE HELP ME!?!?

I was sleeved on the 7th. I had gas pains really severely in my shoulder my left shoulder to be exact. The only thing that seemed to help me was the painkillers they gave me at the hospital. The other thing was I did my arms like windmills in back and forth. That helped some. That may be passed gas and I felt a lot better but every once in awhile I will still feel the pain.some people have to take prilosec or one of those gas type medication. I would call your doctor and ask for advice. Good luck.

Not sure if I posted this yesterday in my drugged out stupor. Gas pain is no joke! OMG I was sooooo uncomfortable. A little discomfort now under my boobs and left side. Throats a little scratchy. Walking does help but I think I over did it!! On clears today and that's a little uncomfortable - I swallow and it almost seems like a gas bubble coming back up. VERY pretty black and blue incision where they pulled my stomach out! Should be going home tomorrow! Hope everyone is doing well!!

They gave me something in my iv for nausea. It worked like a charm. Feel better soon.

Congratulations! Sounds like you had good drugs like me! I hardly remember the first night, lol.

[chellede 352]

I"m home. And yes Peek, I did get two things for nausea. What was happening is I would walk, and the gas bubble would make me sick. But I've kept everything down and did 4 laps of the 3rd floor. So I'm good to go

Thank you everyone for the support. You pioneers were amazing in giving us details ! HUGS to those who are going to be sleeved .. you got this ! No fears !!

[Vsglady 142]
