Was it laproscopic or open surgery?

[Cloebird 25]

Mine lasted a week or so.

I hear it's for a week! Walk walk walk away!! Every hour make 250 steps! Walk after u drink anything ... don't force that fart though cuz u don't wanna mess up your healing sutures ! Good luck

The hiccups are torture & I feel like I have a lump in my throat. I believe the lump is actually gas! My surgery was on 8/28 also. Best wishes!

I was sleeved on 8/28 as well. Still dealing with the gas. It is very uncomfortable.

Yeah, I have a nearly full bottle of Tylenol 3 that I left the hospital with and so far, I haven't needed to touch it except for once or twice.

I had vsg done 8/23 and still dealing with gas. Not as bad as last week but enough that it warrants a mention!

Yeah, I'm noticing that mine isn't as bad either but it is definitely still there.

Ha

let'r rip.

Mine lasted 5 days. Then I started chewing gas ex like no bodies business. Fixed that problem. The gas pain was awful not matter how much I walked and rolled around.

I had really good relief from the gas-x dissolvable strips. [emoji106]
