Sleeved on Wednesday! Normal pains?

jjsasha · February 17, 2017

Hi Everyone!! I was sleeved 2 days ago! Everything went pretty textbook with the surgery but I'm having a ton after I swallow. The pain radiates around my body and takes my breath away. Is this sill gas pains from surgery?I'm nervous. I try waking and drinking but it doesn't really help the pain.

I was sleeved on Tuesday and just experienced this last night. I just got up and felt so much pain and bloating. TMI but I went to the bathroom and attempted to pass gas, I actually had my first bowel movements since pre op. I no longer feel bloated and majority of the pain is gone after being able to pass gas several times. Good luck to you.

Sounds like gas. Keep walking, and getting the gas out (attic or cellar)it will get better. A good bm will really help too probably

I'm 4 days post opp. Went home the 2nd day & took gasalax. When I started passing gas I felt a lot better. Walking alone didn't help, I needed something to help me pass gas.

Does the pain come up the middle of your body into neck? I had that pain.. surgeon said there's a nerve that runs from diaphragm to your neck.. it eventually simmered down
