I had my sleeve done on 6/15/2016. I did have some Gas pains the first couple of days after surgery but they went away. I did not have any nausea whatsoever.

I did not have to use any pain or nausea medication once I got home and have felt progressively better ....... Until Yesterday

Yesterday I had severe gas pains and they were horrible sharp pain. I had to actually use my pain meds for the first time yesterday as the pain was bad. I am also constipated for the first time since yesterday. I have been vigilant on my diet and except for drinking some caffeinated tea I have not strayed at all.

Only thing different I did yesterday was having to tighten my belt (literally) since my pants are getting loose. I have lost 30 lbs since the surgery.

I did get the chewable Gas X yesterday and have a couple of tablets.

Any suggestions on the gas ? On the constipation would diluted prune juice work ?

Is the gas in the belly or the shoulder? I'm still getting it in the shoulder but the only time I get it in the stomach is if I'm consuming my liquids too fast. I can help you with shoulder pain but if its stomach waves I just slow it down on my drinking and walk. Movement always takes care of the gas. I'm so sorry you are hurting!

Did you call your surgeon? Mine has made it pretty clear to us that if we have any pain in our abdomen, that we are supposed to call him. For the constipation, I have heard that milk of magnesia is the most widely used.

Same, sleeves on 6/13/2016. I called the doctor today and was told I may be drinking too fast. I'm constipated as well so I am taking Miralax.

I used gas x and put an heating pad on my shoulder. The next day I was good as new.
