I developed that during week 1. Very painful. I noticed that when I slept on my tummy, I was able to burp some of the gas out.... Not sure if that helps. Keep walking though

My surgery was the day after hours and I'm still working through the gas. Lots of walking and hoping that'll pass soon.

It took me 5 days post op to feel normal again. Walk walk walk.. Thats the only thing that helped me work the gas out of my chest and shoulders.. Hang in there. It gets better.

I was consistently moving too after my surgery. The gas pain was the worse thing!! At 3 weeks I felt so much better, that was when I felt normal again. Give it time, I know it's a terrible feeling but it will be over very soon

Had my surgery on the 21st---I could hardly wait to get home and get a gas x gas strip. I only needed them the 2 days(day and 1/2) home. I guess my body needed a jump start. Walking did help move the pain, but that strip did it for me. Good luck! We are a day apart, I'm much more comfortable once that gas was able to move more freely and out of my body. Now, my gas is the typical gas.

I had surgery on July 20... I'm having a real hard time even drinking anything or broth without the tight chest feeling.. I have to raise my hands to stretch out to get it down.. Anyone else?!?

Hi, I had the worst gas pain ever for about two weeks, but as soon as I started walking around more and eating gasX like candy it stopped. Ice packs and heat helped also. Hang in there, it gets better.

Has your gas pain passed? Mine's gone, and never used a GasX strip. Lots of walking helped. Although the things that I have found to be far worse than gas pain are coughs, sneezes, and hiccups. I don't seem to see talk around these 3, and they are far worse than gas pain IMO.

I was sleeved on the 20th also and mine gas pain was gone about 2 days ago. The remaining pain was from my hiatal hernia repair. My spasms are finally dying out but if I do take top big a swig of Water I have to straighten out for it to go down.

      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.
