Dame21 23 Posted April 30, 2021 I had surgery yesterday. I'm in pain, but I can't tell if its CO2 or not. Does CO2 feel like bubbles? Any experience someone wants to share? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Hop_Scotch 1,632 Posted April 30, 2021 What surgery? Sleeve, RNY or ?? Pain is not surprising but hopefully they have you on some pain meds. If gas, walking may help. I walked a few laps every hour, even if I was awake in the middle of the night. I didn't actually feel any pain from gas, I did feel discomfort around the incision sites and getting up and out of bed was difficult. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dame21 23 Posted April 30, 2021 Sleeve. I don't know if I'm having CO2 pain or not. I am feeling bubbles sometimes when walking around. Not sure what it is. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jnfinney 527 Posted April 30, 2021 Where exactly is your pain? I didn't have CO2 pain with my sleeve surgery, but I did with my gallbladder removal and the CO2 pain felt like aching between my shoulder blades and sometimes in my upper chest. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dame21 23 Posted April 30, 2021 My pain seems to be mid abdomen. Its really bad when I wake up after sleeping through a dose of pain medicine, but once I take it, its better for the most part. I'm thinking I don't have any CO2 pain either. It doesn't seem to be moving 24 hour post surgery Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
