Hello Fellow Sleevers -

Please help!

After I eat ANYTHING, I feel gas type bubbles travel up my back which HURT! They're very uncomfortable!! Makes me want to NOT eat!

Do any of you guys this? If you did, does it go away?? (I am 15 days post op)

Also, does your stomach make noises and grumble/move after you put something in it??

I'm freakin' out and feel like I won't ever be normal again!!!

Anyone?

That's perfectly normal. I get those air bubbles too. Sounds like my stomach is talking to me. Eventually that goes away from what I've seen on here.

Thanks for the response - I hate it though - you know, when you're sick/different you think that you'll never be normal again! ha!

I know this is a process. At the end for a very good thing health and beauty.

I was told to use gasX which I took at first after each meal and bedtime. I still take it almost daily since surgery especially if I have refried beans or something a little spicy it really helps me. I am 12+ weeks and I feel pretty normal my stomach gets a little noisy sometimes but no more pain. I can eat what I want not as much and thats OK cause I'm not the heaviest person in the room! Keep plugging away this will pass soon.

GasX helps a lot, but it DOES go away after time. Or at least, it gets easier.

Also hot foods really helped me a lot after the surgery. It does something with relaxing your stomach muscles, I guess... but it helps!

All normal, but temporary. Tiny sips, tiny bites and learning your sleeve are part of the recipe for minimizing discomfort. It gets better.

Thanks, everyone!

Ive been using the GasX strips, but I guess I'll continue to use them. I have to keep reminding myself that I'm only 16 days out!!! haha.

Thanks for the encouragement... I'm happy to hear that it WILL get BETTER!

My doc have me a Prilosec RX but I chew a lot of Tum's too. The minty smooth dissolves work best. For me it lasted almost a month and now it's just every once and a while

Glad to read this. I am 4 days out and I have a lot of gas bubbles when I eat almost anything or drink anything and man do they hurt. I have started using the Gas-X and it has helped, but it helps to know that this will continue to improve over time.

I have the Gas bubbles right now and it makes me throw up due to the pain, how long after does it stop? I am currently 13 days post op.
