Well I'm on the sleeved side now!!!!! All went well! I've been in ICU now for the last 9 hours and it's the first time I've been awake for longer than 5 minutes and not in pain anymore! Really struggled with the gas pain! My stomach and incisions feel fine, infact I'm not sore at all....just the blooming dreadful gas pain! On morphine at the moment and feeling pretty good, propt up in bed watching tv! Can't wait for my surgeon to come tmr morning so I can have a drink!!! My mouth and throat are so dry!!! My surgeon doesn't allow anything for 24hrs afterwards!

YEA! So happy for you and all the 1st sleevers it truly helps the rest of us not far behind you as mine is the 10th speedy recovery to all

OMG anyone have painful gas. It hurts so bad

[Diana8185 9]

Are you gas everywhere or your stomach? My pain is a lot of pressure in my stomach also painful swallowing of liquids.< /p>

I had horrific gas pains also, mainly stomach area! I've only just started fluids and have taking 7 hours now to drink about 60ml and eat a teaspoon of jelly!!

[ness0781 7]

Still getting a lot of pain though!!

[home3253 27]

I have gas pain and I find that when I walk, I burp more• that eases the gas pain for me.

It was my stomach and I find that walking around helps out a lot and hubby patting my back

We did it! At first the pain and nausea were terrible but I feel good now. So thankful! Good luck to us all!

Well I'm on free fluids today! And they gave me custard first up! Have only managed to get down a teaspoon of it so far! Is anyone else struggling to get things down also?? I think I'm more scared than anything as I don't want to vomit!

I ate sugar free Popsicles, 2 tbsp of low sodium v8, and 2tsp of Jello so far. Sipping on Water all day and walking to rid of this gas pain.
