britt_12 14 Posted June 8, 2016 I had my sleeve done Monday (6/6/16) and was good enough to get discharged Thursday afternoon. I'm now on day 3 of post op and have so much pain. I have been walking and sipping trying to get any of the air still in me out. Is anyone else going through this or have any tips? Maybe using ice/heat packs?

Tammi2 4 Posted June 8, 2016 HI! I am 6 hours post op and I feel great except for the gas. OMG it's so uncomfortable. I'm walking laps in the hospital and it's not helping. When I chewed my ice chips the Water burned going down and shortly after I threw it up. I hope tomorrow will be better and I will continue walking but holy shit is the gas uncomfortable!

Inner Surfer Girl 12,015 Posted June 9, 2016 I second the recommendation of the heating pad and moving around. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lemm61 206 Posted June 9, 2016 The gas is no joke. So painful. Walk as much as you can and keep a heating pad or hot pack on constantly. I'm now one week post op from RNY and the gas didn't leave my chest and shoulders til the 4th day. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lolarose13 147 Posted June 9, 2016 Hi! I'm on day 3 as well. Gas is my worst enemy, so I try to walk, lay on the side with a heating pad over the tummy and drink Water to get the gas out of my tummy. I passed gas 15 times today and I had hot peppermint tea and it felt awesome and I burped after it, so it's getting better. Good luck to you sleeve buddy!
