Everyday it gets a little better.. As much as you don't want to do it sometimes walk, walk about 10 to 15 minutes out of every waking hour it really does get that gas moving and out quicker!

Discomfort can last about a week make sure your not twisting and bending to much. And it's easier to "roll" when you are getting out of bed.

Good luck to you

I had gas for the first two days after surgery. It went away after that. I did have pain from my incisions to some degree for at least a month.

I'm so sorry you're feeling this. This was the worst part for me.

For me, the nausea went away day 4. Came back after I wasn't drinking enough fluids on day 5. I've been diligent about walking and DRINKING (yay for the 4oz of Fluid sf Popsicles give you) and my nausea has been good. He cramping got significantly better day 6. Yesterday. Because the grumbles got lower and the tooting amped up. (hasn't really stopped. No complaints!)

The question your asking was the only one I would ask when I was in and just out of the hospital. I'd ask it in my head, to anyone that would listen, and sometimes while just whining to myself. I kept hearing "it gets better everyday." I didn't believe it. But it's so true. Again, the only reverse I had was because I wasn't getting enough fluids in. It'll gett significantly better by the end of the first week!

Oh! And I was on roxicet and I was slightly over medicated once and that got me nauseous. I don't have any pain in my insision's anymore. Never really did. I am lucky there.

Sorry you are hurting. It really does get better every day. Stay ahead of the pain if you need to and take the meds. Walk and sip as much as you can, it will help more than you can realize right now.

Speedy recovery!

It really does. Keep walking and sipping. Take you pain meds before the pain kicks in. Praying for you.

I am newly sleeved! 3-18-13, and the gas has been the worst part for me! I have been up walking consistently since I came out of recovery. I have had a hard time being able to burp, and when I can or if I hiccup it hurts so bad. My insidious have never bothered me! I occasionally feel bruised but my biggest complaint is the gas, and the shoulder pain! Gas X strips have helped me be able to fall asleep, but they don't last long! Everyone is different, you just have to find what works for you! Good luck to all!

everyone is different because I have not had pain or gas or any complication. I take malox before bed. I am lucky I guess

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
