3rd day post op

[britt_12 14]

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?

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!

Try a heating pad and move alot - even when sitting rock back and forth.

I second the recommendation of the heating pad and moving around.

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.

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!
