I had my surgery yesterday, 12/17 and I'm feeling sore. However, I woke up at 1 am and I thought I was having a heart attack. The nurse said it is gas. Have anyone experience this?and what can you do to make it better? The nurse said that is from the surgery and beside walking there is nothing they can give me.

I too had surgery yesterday and have the same thing. You can also get that feeling from drink/swallowing too fast. I get up and walk or try to lay flat....sometimes that helps! Prayers for you

Congratulations on your surgery! Gas was my only issue when I was sleeved a week ago today. The more I walked the better it got. If you can't walk yet, try rolling your shoulders back one at a time at least to get some movement going to break it up. Best of luck to you!!! Feel better.

Oh wow! I've never had this happen to me. But the gas pains are AWFULLLLLLLLLLLL!!!! I was poppin gas-x like they were skittles and still it didn't help much. But, the nurse is right you need to walk walk walk!! I was so weak but I was up walking at like 2AM the day after my surgery. I was holding onto that pole thingie that is attached to your IV like it was a cane. lol. Walk walk walk!!!

The more you walk, the better it gets. The gas is just trapped inside and needs to get out. Also, if you have some GasX strips, that really really helps! You will feel better soon, I promise and it will all be a memory before you know it!

I had my surgery yesterday and I feel wonderful. Could be my morphine pump or my pain ball. The only thing is I could not sleep. I was wide awake at 6 this morning. Cleaning up and putting makeup and walking around. What helps me is burping. Hope you feel better. Going to have my UGI soon. I'll be going home tomorrow morning.

I had the same problem after surgery. My doctor gave me Nexium for a couple of weeks and that settled it down. I am now 5 weeks post-op and don't experience this problem anymore.

I was sleeved yesterday. I am unhappy to say that I do not feel well today. The gas is the worst and the mini hiccups. Also get this weird pain between my belly button and my sternum. I just don't think I've bounced back as quick as most.

Surgery is tomorrow and I so glad to have read all these post about walking. I am promising to myself no matter how much pain I'm in or weak I am I will walk walk walk as soon as I get clearance to do so. Need to keep in mind that's the only way I will feel better.

Walking helps a lot! So does sitting straight up or flat as much as you can handle for pain. Also if it hurts don't hesitate to use the pain meds like i did....i regretted it after it got so bad i thought i was dying lol

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!
