OK peeps - when does the gassiness start to die down? My SD was 1.11.17 so I understand this will go on for a bit, but wowza. The chest pains I'm getting from all this damn air in there is ridiculous. I'm burping with no problem, and Gas X Strips do help - just wondering if there's an end date to this.

Let me know how you all dealt with this/are currently dealing with this. Thanks a bunch!

Yeah it dissipates! I'm just over two weeks and it's no problem now. I never even bothered with gas-x.

Mine lasted like a week then stopped but then it would sneak back up on me in some odd places like back or side pains. Gas x and lots of walking but mostly the walking helps move it out. Also i massaged gently the areas where i felt the most gassy.

I had my sleeve done on 1/12/17! I feel great except for the fact that every time I eat/drink something, I get a pain in my chest.. then it just goes away.. any insight??

I have the same issue. Super annoying. I think it will stop as time goes along.

Had my vsg 1/11/17 too! Having gas issues too! I just try to increase my walking and take gas-ex strips. It's bearable most of the time, but I always feel bloated

How are you doing with hunger- I am always hungry!! Kinda disappointing since I was expecting some appetite suppression post-surgery.

For the first time since surgery, I am feeling that full feeling right now! I ate about 1/4 a cup of soup! I think you just have to listen to your body and really wait for that "full" feeling when you eat. I just have a hard time eating/enjoying food, bcuz that gas bubble keeps coming up!

I eat every 3 hours. At first I tried waiting but it was just like before surgery. I knew it wasn't possible. I just eat what I am supposed to and the weight keeps coming off.

Hi everyone had surgery on 1/16/17. During pretty good now. I couldn't deal with nausea. They tried some many things to keep me from being nauseous. My nauseous didn't go away until the second day.

I found the light at the end of the tunnel! I had my surgery on 1/12 and today I drank a Protein shake, and there was no gas bubble pain in my chest! So if you are having trouble with that type of pain, it goes away in time! Just get up on your feet and walk as much as you can.
