So this is my 3rd day sleeved, no pain but the gas is unbarable. I can't take a sip of water or a little spoon of applesauce without having the pressure of the burps. Is there anyone that has experienced that? What can I do. I walk around my house all day but I'm mostly tired so I lay on my back in bed. But the burps/gas is horrible ???? HELP?!

If your laying in bed and unable to walk around as much as you should...bring your knees up to your chest....you might let out some air from other ends..but it might work....I haven't had my surgery yet..but that is just what someone told me to do...

Try some gasx strips. You just put them on your tongue, so no having to swallow.

I burped nonstop for weeks! Try some gas x or maalox liquid that's an antacid and anti gas.

If you can put your butt up in the air or pump your legs in and out like we do with babies.

Honestly I barely let out any of the air out of my backside...it was all burps.

I drank a lot of tea and it seemed to help.

walking helps alleviate some of that...but if it is a constant problem, talk with your doctor of options for relief...

gas problems are common in the beginning....good luck and feel better

Lay on your left side, that is supposed to really help with gas (helps things flow in the right direction! ). Also, i haven't had surgery yet but I have read from many other people that the gas-x melt in your mouth strips really work as well. Good luck!

I just had surgery yesterday, but I found the pain went away after sleeping on my left side for a couple of hours. It's still early though so it may come back. I have also decreased the size of my "sips".

Wow! Yesterday? Congrats! How are you feeling? How is it going? My date is November 24th and getting nervous and second guessing the decision! arrgghhhh

Try a heating pad. It really worked well for me.

I was really nervous but it's worth it, a lot of struggle but I was up after my surgery, thank god I have no complications just the burping which is normal but annoying, don't second guess yourself! Good luck and my prayers and love is with you! [=

I am also the 24th of November, and getting really nervous....but excited!!

Start my preop diet 11/2 and surgery 11/12. I'm getting so nervous. I'm glad to read I'm not the only one. Also sounds like overall the pain is not too bad (except gas). Can't wait for the big change.

Good luck! And you will be fine just pick up some gas x and drink and walk if you feel bloated or gassy it helps a lot
