Are you still in the hospital? If not - call your surgeon for advice. Make sure they've given you pain meds, a PPI for acid and an anti-nausea med. Try and get fluids in - take very small sips. Hot tea, warm broth, ice cold Water, sugar free popsicles - whatever you can tolerate. Hope you are doing better soon!

Gas pains are normal is what they told me. I found that walking helped me a lot,,,that and medication of course. It was actually a problem for a month and I just took medication faithfully. Wishing you a speedy recovery! Take care.

I had my gallbladder out years ago, same type of surgery. They inflate your abdominal cavity with gas so they can see what they are doing in there. The gas really isn't in your stomach. I had terrible gas pain in my right shoulder, but it only lasted a couple of days. The BEST thing I found to get rid of it was walking.

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.
