Sorry to hear you are suffering with this. I am not an expert but I assume its gas, are you walking lots? Walking helps get rid of the gas.

If its not the gas but from the actual surgery itself, were you not given pain killers?

Thank you so much for reply. I got home late and haven’t gotten my prescription from the pharmacy. My husband just went to pick them up. Soon I get it I will get dressed and go walk.

Walk a lot - gas pain is brutal.

Peppermint Decaf tea and massaging stomach and back helps too.

For me cold Water hurt my chest so the tea helps there too

Feel better!

󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿" userid="342591"]Goodmorning I had my sleeve done June 29th. I am home now but the pain is so unbearable sometimes i feel I want to cry and scream. Anyone else have pain like that ? Or is something wrong?
It sounds like gas. If you walk it should get better.

I definitely didn't have pain like yours, but I found ice packs across my incisions and abdomen to help A LOT in the first week

I had pretty bad pain, I cried and yelped when I got in and out of bed or when I got up off the couch, which I couldn't sit on because i was uncomfortable for so long. In reality it was just a few days, but I walked a lot and it wasn't just gas. It got better, I stopped taking the meds and kept shuffling around. The first few days were rough for me though.

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

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