I was sleeved on Jan 24th. Sick of chicken broth, jello, popsicles, and fluids. Seem to have alot of gas and so worried I am going to have a leak. I have uncomfortable gassy feel underneath breast area. Does anyone one week out have any similar S/S?

YES it is like a "BUBBLE" that wont go away but it DOES!!! It takes a while but it gets better I promise! I walked around the house a lot and took gas X strips!

I hope you feel better soon! Everyday gets better!!!

I was sleeved on January 17th and had the same gassy feeling as you are having. It is a pain but it will go away. Keep walking alot.

I was sleeved Jan. 26th, and under my breast has been tender ever since, too. It's probably from when they pump you full of gas to enlarge your tummy area during surgery and it takes a while for that to leave your body. It's perfectly normal and will go away. But check with you doctor at your post-op visit, or if you are really in pain, call the doctor right now. It never hurts to ask!! My pain was worse in the hospital, but less sensitive now, although I still feel it a bit. I, too, am sick of the liquids!!!! But I'm afraid to move too fast and am following my doctor's food plan. I haven't even had anything resembling 3 meals a day yet - but that's my goal for today. I feel like everything I eat makes me want to burp - but it's hard to just burp! Almost like a baby, I wish someone would gently pat my back, haha! Hope you feel better soon.

Hey everyone, Im in the exact same boat! It feels good to know that others are going through the same thing I am. I was sleeved on the 25th and am 6 days post-op. I feel really bubbly and gassy in my tummy. I get a pain on my left side of my breastbone and sometimes feel like I swallowed a big bubble of air. I was just going to ask if the gas they pump you up with is supposed to hang around this long. I hope it will go away soon. I was able to eat some yogurt this morning and it was soooo yummy. I tried some smooth cream of wheat this afternoon and it was a no go! I cant wait to start on more mushy foods. Hope everyone gets feeling better soon!
