Hey Everybody,

Finally got sleeved last Thursday and did fairly well post op! Had nausea and gas pain but it subsided fairly quickly. I was having some trouble expelling gas so my doctor gave me anti-inflammatories on both Friday and again in Saturday because I was having some severe menstrual cramp-related issues. I was feeling GOOD! I'm sure those drugs started wearing off a bit by yesterday and now I just feel a dull ache. It's kind of in my mid-chest region, and it's like my stomach feels a little sore. I really haven't had any problems with restriction and fluids go down well, but I am gassy.

I know a lot don't really feel any pain but for those that did, is this normal? I guess it's kind of in my mid chest region and maybe left side, under my left breast region.

Sounds like gas still. Like all things, this too will subside. Good luck!

So much gas! Can you use gas x strips? Anywhoooooo, it will soon be a distant memory in the past! Congrats and welcome to The BIG LOSER'S BENCH! :0

Thanks guys! I haven't used my gas x strips in a couple of days but sounds like I need to again. Just had some gatorade and some warm home made broth and it goes down well but it feels like it totally displaces gas and then I burp. LOL

Sounds to me like residual effects from the CO2 pumping, not stomach gas. If that's the case, Gas-X is a waste of time. Heating pad, movement, and perhaps laying on your left side w/ your knee pulled as close to your chest as you can get it.

I think it's a combo of both just because of the burping and gurgling. LOL But I went for a nice long walk this morning and it made a huge difference. I feel better already!
