Two days out and in pain - normal?



Recommended Posts

Hi everyone. I had surgery on Monday. I had so much pain from the gas, I thought it would never end. Now it’s two days later and I have chest pain when I swallow and stomach pain/soreness when I get out of bed. I been following liquid and Protein intake instructions. I’m seeing MD tomorrow. Might it just be heartburn?

First of all....congratulations on your journey!!

Now.....are you walking? Best thing you can do for gas pain. I am 6 days out and have set my phone alarm to remind me to get up and walk!!

Yes, very very normal!

It will slowly lessen each day and eventually disappear. It took me a few weeks.

Hang in there!

Just like what has been stated it is normal to have gas pains several days out. I was having them up until about 4-5 days out. If you are having second thoughts then please talk to your Dr at your appointment just to be on the safe side. It may not be gas pain and it is better to be safe than sorry! I know my surgeon pretty much told us to call anytime and there was no question that was a dumb question!

the gas is honestly way worse pain that the stomach pain. try using heating pads where it hurts.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
