greenwitch17 19 Posted February 3, 2022 Hi friends! So I got my sleeve done on 2/1/22 and I was discharged same night since I was able to walk and eat fine. I have been burping frequently which I know it normal, but I’m two days out and still cannot fart. I wrote my surgeon, waiting to hear back. I just wanted to know if anyone experienced something similar? Anything I can try to get myself to fart? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ShoppGirl 5,024 Posted February 3, 2022 I didn’t have any gas post surgery but everyone says that the walking is supposed to help you pass gas. It sounds like you are already doing that though. Maybe gas X? 1 greenwitch17 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GradyCat 3,695 Posted February 3, 2022 Walking is the best way to pass the gas, whether it's burping or farting, either way it'll come out. 1 greenwitch17 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
vikingbeast 987 Posted February 3, 2022 It's normal not to be able to fart (you're constipated!) and it will go away. As GradyCat said, walk. Walk a ton. It will go away. The first few days post-op are the hardest. 1 greenwitch17 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

What a great feeling when you do!!!! Remember what comes after the gas!!!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Arabesque 7,438 Posted February 4, 2022 For months after my surgery I hardly ever farted. Maybe a little ‘breath’ of one at night. I think the changes to my diet was the reason especially the low carbs & low sugar. I started passing wind a little more often when I was eating more carbs (whole & multi grain). Still don’t fart much, usually just a couple at night but I do pass more wind if I’m constipated. Out of curiosity why are you concerned? If it’s because you’re trying to expel surgery gas your burping works too. As does walking & gasX. Remember wind builds as part of the digestive process. If you’re not eating much you’re not digesting much so reduced wind. Oh, and I’d be careful trying to make yourself fart after surgery. Diarrhoea is common post surgery & liquid farts are real & not pleasant! All the best. 1 Dcsjoc reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
