I was sleeved on Tuesday the 5th of July so I am 4 days post op. I'm doing better each day EXCEPT I am having terrible has in my stomach and around where my hiatal hernia was repaired. SO MUCH GAS. Can anyone please shed some light on this I cannot seem to find much about it. Will it cause any complications. When I burp it is like this wierd reverse burp where it feels like I am taking in more air to get the burp out. Please let me know if this is normal. Thank you so much.

The only way i was able to get the gas to go away was to walk and i resorted a few days to gas x strips - I hope you feel better. I think it is fairly common but if you are concerned you should reach out to your dr or nurse...

Yes Gas is the biggest complaint most folks have after surgery....it very normal! Walking is the best way to get rid of it.....Walk as much as you can, and then walk a little more.....Gas-x stips are helpful to some people.....I also found deep breathing to help me....You're 4 days now I think around day 6 it started to feel more normal.

Good luck and I hope you feel better soon!

Walking should help. I had most of my gas pain in my shoulder so a heating pad helped.
