My surgery was Tuesday and I'm fighting the gas pains. I've been trying to walk as often as I can hoping to stir it up.

Exactly 7days post op! Gas pain is worse if I drink my clear liquid or Jello and then drink Water immedaitely after. So now I don't drink Water 30 minutes b4 or 30 minutes after this seems to help me alot! My DOC also gave me some type of med for the gas I hate taking it because it has to be crushed and the taste is horrible!

Hope the gas gets better for you!

Keep your head up!

I had my surgery on Monday, luckily I've barely had gas pains. I've been farting (excuse me) with no problems. And if I feel gas in my tummy I take a Gas-x strip. Walking helps as well.

I agree with Twitty, I'm 3 days post-op too, I had a band to sleeve revision with a hernia repair. I am so surprised that the gas pain hasn't been horribly bad, I try to walk as often as I can, just mainly around my house, I do take 2 gas x strips at once every few hours. I mainly feel it when I swallow, I think I'm swallowing air with the small sips, I'd rather drink out of a straw.

We're all in this thing together, I do know for sure it will improve with time. ????????

Can someone tell me how long does the gas pains last and when I'm I going to be able to sleep comfortably in my bed.... I am 4 days post op

I'm alllllmost 2 weeks out and it took me a week and a half. The more I walked to more it "exited" the system! So I tried to walk about 15-20 min, every 2-3 hours.

I'm 4 days post-op lap band revision to sleeve. The Gas-X strips did nothing for me. Since the first day post-op, I take a sip of Water, belch and feel better. Also, walking as much as possible. That really seems to be the big one. I had much worse pain (soreness and gas) after the lap band.

It will get better!!!

      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.
