Hi everyone, I was sleeved (actually a band to sleeve revision) on Sept. 3rd and all went well. I am having crazy loud abdominal gas noises but very difficult in getting the gas out. In the few times I have been able to pass ANY of the gas, first was diarrhea then a large amount of gas. When the gas came out, it almost felt as my abdomen was rearranged. I am guessing it was the CO2 from the surgery but does anyone know better how to pass it? THANKS!!!

Walk walk walk. Take gas x and walk walk walk. It's the only thing that helps after surgery.

I find that my tummy noises are much louder with my sleeve than it ever was with my band. As mentioned above, continue to walk and get it out as you can...there isn't much you can do, other than that, to get the gas out. Eventually, it will settle down...but the noises are still prevalent - I'm three months post-op!
