Good luck for me it was OK being at the hospital I stayed 2 days and I was in pain but controlled and when I got home I was in a lot more pain but it gradually went away Now its just discomfort I am 14 days post op but now what hurts is the intake of drinks and foods and severe back pain. I kindve regret getting this done.

So I'm not the only one with horrible stabbing gas pains? I've tried the gas x strips and all is still quiet... I am trying to keep my family out and about on an endless series of errands because I think when this finally blows... It's not gonna be pretty and I have to live with these nice people for the rest of my life.

Gas x strips didn't help me to much the best thing to do is walk and I was o lot able to burp it was a few days later befor it came out the other end and it wasn't bad I ha e made sure I take my pain meds gas x strips like I'm supposed to and walk my dr had me walking every hour for 10 mins and then after mid night it was every 2 hrs it goes away after a few days but walking is the best thing you can do for it

The gas is in your abdominal cavity so the GasX doesn't resolve it very much. Walk, walk, walk and heating pad!

Thank you so much for the info- I wondered why they weren't working. I did some weeding today and have been busy around the house and I think that has helped. Getting info from this site is wonderful but at the same time, I'm scaring myself by reading threads about leaks, getting things stuck in your seam, etc. It's amazing how much info is out there and how it is so vastly different. When I got a lap band 7 years ago there wasn't much to go on. What a difference with the sleeve. I think I may have scared myself out of sleep....

I am doing really good no problems. Pains not bad finally able to get around good now if only I could get enough liquid and Protein in I would be great but the Protein shakes are not agree in with me at all so I'm going to see if I can find the shots and see how they work how are you doing?

Ohhhhhhh the shakes.... The Protein shakes. Horrible. I can eat yogurt no problem so I am eating ones with high Protein low sugar and feel soooo much better, have energy to spare. I'm going to get on scale tomorrow and we shall see what's what. Thank goodness no hunger at all but I'm super thirsty and have been trying to drink drink drink. I'm so glad you are doing well!!!
