OriginalGaPeach 28 Posted October 22, 2018 I had awful gas pains in my neck & back from all of the air that goes into your body during the surgery. A Heating pad saved me with these pains, so did salonpas pads. I was surprised that with all of the reading & research I did months prior to surgery, I read nothing of people these pains, however after surgery I learned that these pains are very common after laparoscopic surgery. It lasted about a week for me but was more painful for me than my incisions (2 hernia repairs & gastric sleeve). Heating pad & salonpas saved me my first week. Hi...I had my Sleeve done on October 17th and just recently I've endured gas pains that are quite annoying. What exactly does heating pads do and where do you put them?Live...Love...Laugh [emoji3] Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Don't fall asleep with it, burns could happen 9r if you are laing on it , potential risk of fire. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Frustr8 7,886 Posted October 22, 2018 the heat relaxes, has nothing to do with real other than real sore, and that's not something anyone wants.👩😪🏠 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
