I developed that during week 1. Very painful. I noticed that when I slept on my tummy, I was able to burp some of the gas out.... Not sure if that helps. Keep walking though

My surgery was the day after hours and I'm still working through the gas. Lots of walking and hoping that'll pass soon.

It took me 5 days post op to feel normal again. Walk walk walk.. Thats the only thing that helped me work the gas out of my chest and shoulders.. Hang in there. It gets better.

I was consistently moving too after my surgery. The gas pain was the worse thing!! At 3 weeks I felt so much better, that was when I felt normal again. Give it time, I know it's a terrible feeling but it will be over very soon

Had my surgery on the 21st---I could hardly wait to get home and get a gas x gas strip. I only needed them the 2 days(day and 1/2) home. I guess my body needed a jump start. Walking did help move the pain, but that strip did it for me. Good luck! We are a day apart, I'm much more comfortable once that gas was able to move more freely and out of my body. Now, my gas is the typical gas.

I had surgery on July 20... I'm having a real hard time even drinking anything or broth without the tight chest feeling.. I have to raise my hands to stretch out to get it down.. Anyone else?!?

Hi, I had the worst gas pain ever for about two weeks, but as soon as I started walking around more and eating gasX like candy it stopped. Ice packs and heat helped also. Hang in there, it gets better.

Has your gas pain passed? Mine's gone, and never used a GasX strip. Lots of walking helped. Although the things that I have found to be far worse than gas pain are coughs, sneezes, and hiccups. I don't seem to see talk around these 3, and they are far worse than gas pain IMO.

I was sleeved on the 20th also and mine gas pain was gone about 2 days ago. The remaining pain was from my hiatal hernia repair. My spasms are finally dying out but if I do take top big a swig of Water I have to straighten out for it to go down.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞

        I may have to have gall bladder surgery during my weight loss surgery. Not thrilled about it either but do not want 2 recovery times. Just want it over with.

        Thanks for your post. I may need to rethink my decision... :(
