When did you after surgery?

I was told it is a very important step. I got sleeved on the 14th and i haven't yet, i'm getting very impatient. (I can burp though and the gas pain in my shoulders isn't as bad as it was before.)

I want to fart and make sure i'm okay!

I had my sleeve done on the 7th and it took AT LEAST 4 days for me to pass gas, and it was very little because liquids don't usually cause that kind of gas for me. However, since I'm on blenderized/strained foods now, I am constantly farting, but there is no scent... weird, but glad! LOL

It's important because they pump your abdomin full of air during surgery and the air comes out when it is absorbed into your system. Burping is good enough, I say, this means it is making it's way out, just not out the way you would expect!

Happy farting!

Consensus here seems to be that extended walking works the methane out. How and why I do not know, but I do know that it is better to fart and bare the shame than not to fart and bare the pain.

Don't worry, it will happen! Days 3-5 were when I had the most gas and gas pain.

Not until day 4, really. Today is day 7 and marks the most gas I've had. I only burped once, on the first day.

I also had my surgery on the 14th and I just started passing today. it was really easy once I grabbed a pillow and held it against my stomach when I tried to push. Best of luck (:

Yep walking when your able should help move it and make it easier

I have a question maybe someone can answer, is there certain types of food that gives you bad gas. I am a few years post op and I have to take gas x to keep from having gas.
