Keep walking. When you are sitting, try to be in a rocking chair or glider where you can rock back and forth. While rocking, cross your arms over your abdomen and lean forward with the motion of the chair.

I found a heating pad where the gas pain was the worst helped the pain as well. Good luck!

Heating pad was a big help and comfort and walking. I also found massages help.

I am 7 days post op today and the gas has definitely been unbearable at times....but just like everyone will tell you walking is the best remedy. I have tried the gas strips but they didn't work for me, the heating pad definitely eased the pain, but walking was the only thing that helped me pass it. I am hoping to see the light at the end of the tunnel soon! Good luck!

I'm so glad you asked this question. I was sleeved yesterday and I can't even think about getting my fluids in because the gas pain and bloating is the worst!!!

I am 7 days post op, I used a pillow on my belly when I went to sleep , it helped a lot. I also walked a lot, by day 4 all the gas was gone.
