Ok so I was sleeved Monday and released yesterday. No complications no nothing. However I have the worst gas pains ever!! It's in my back, neck, chest, and boy is it painful. Does anyone know what I can do to help get rid of this horrific pain??

Walk. I know you may not feel like it, but it works the best. Some Gas X strips help too.

Congrats on your surgery!!

Try rolling your shoulders, back and forth, and bringing your shoulder blades together....that's what helped me when I got pain in the upper back/shoulder area. Other than that...walk, heating pad and gas-x it up. Good luck on your recovery.

Walk, walk, walk, and then walk some more. Take easy baby steps at first if needed then pick up the pace. I had horrible shoulder and back gas pain for at least a month. Congrats on your surgery!!!

When I was sleeved...I didn't really expierance gas pain much...I was lucky I guess..but I just had my gallbladder surgery last week and omg I had the worse gas pain ever! I did walk..that was the best thing to do.. But I also had my husband massage my neck ad shoulder where the pain was and I used a heating pad...seemed to help for a little..but the more you do it it will go away..also FART!! I know tmi but it does help!!! My pains lasted like 4 days! But each day a little better! Hang in there itll get better..at least now I can sleep good again! :)

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?
