Butterfly007 17 Posted October 8, 2016 Hi. I was sleeved on 9/29. I am not having pain as far as incisions but having constant pain I think from gas. I've walked everyday several times a day and still no relief. I've even taken the Gas X pill, Is there anyone that is having the same problem? If so, what are you doing or what did you do to make it better. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
laceemouse 631 Posted October 8, 2016 I haven't had WLS yet but I had my gallbladder out years ago, similar surgery in that it is also done via laproscope. The gas pain happens because they fill your abdominal cavity to blow it up so they can see what they are doing in there. The gas is trying to escape and can hurt in the shoulders, neck, back, etc. I felt it in my right shoulder, it killed. I found that the only thing that helped was walking, walking, walking. And pain pills when I wanted to sleep. I can't understand why Gas X would help, the problem isn't really IN the digestive tract. But some people swear by it so???

AmandaCox88 0 Posted October 9, 2016 I've had my gallbladder removed and I was just sleeved 10/5. The gas pains from gallbladder and the gas pains from the sleeve are completely different IMO. The pains I get are all in my belly. With my gallbladder they were all in my shoulders. I've already started walking blocks and nothing is really helping but they say eventually it'll go away Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
