Hi Nikki. Walking is your best bet. I hear a lot of folks get air up near their shoulder blades or neck. Walking will help to dissapate it.

Walking will defimitely help! It gets that air inside of you moving. That first passed gas felt like a million bucks!!

The doctor explained that walking and working on your breathing technique will help dissipate the air that's trapped inside. Somehow our body will absorb the air inside, and some of the air will be released by passing gas/ burping. I just got sleeved on 03/09/15 & the first 2 days were definitely my worse! Good luck with you on your journey!
