Hi there, I had my sleeve on November 20th. I am starting to eat sort of normally now and I have a LOT of gas. I have read and been told (I think) that the gas will stretch my stomach so now I am freaking out that my stomach is big again. I have an appetite but can only eat a small amount at a time and I am still losing 2 or 3 pounds a week.

Does anyone have any information on gas and the sleeve surgery?

Thank you in advance, this forum saved my sanity after the surgery!!!!

Gas is going to be a fact of life for a while. It just comes with the major changes that were made to your stomach. I would suggest chewable Gas-X. I use it a lot and I love that stuff! :)

I RARELY burp anymore, don't know why - so my gas is the other kind. Just tired of passing such a large amount of gas...........

@@purplecatlover Oh then yep try the gas x if you haven't already, they have the chewable like Dave said or you can get the dissolvable Strips.

You need to walk around and get it all out. Also when sitting doe arm raise as if you are lifting dumbbells at the gym. I had one day of flatulence when I first came home and then I was fine, but boy was it a gassy day! I think I even offended the cat.

Sugar or other carbs give me gas. I notice it immediately. I've been taking a good probiotic and it's made a huge difference.

I had gas and funny gurgling sounds coming from my tummy the first few months, then they went away. Now I get gas when I eat processed foods...

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.
