Hi,

I'm 5 days post op and I never really passed any gas. And when I woke up in recovery I had pressure in my chest and was told it was gas.

And I still have it when I drink Water and eat.

Anyone else have this problem?

yep! felt like an elephant was sitting on my chest for two days. I used a gasx strip, and I have belched and "broke wind" quite a bit, and it's gone now. It never traveled to my shoulders either, thank goodness!!

Thanks

The gas x strips that dissolve in your mouth help. Walking helps a lot too. I was just sleeved on 4/14.. It gets better!

I had that pain for 5 days. I walked a lot. The thing that helped me most was taking a Tums. Just chew it up really well. The Gas X strips didn't work for me.
