I was finally sleeved yesterday. My incisions don’t hurt much.. it’s the gas stuck and not releasing that is causing me MAJOR pain. How long until it’s able to pass? I’m so uncomfortable. They’ve given me gas drops— didn’t help. I’ve walked 10 laps around my hospital floor— no help! It won’t pass out of either end! Ahhhhhh help!

Ive heard Gas X Strips are a life saver....Im going to be bringing those for my RNY coming up end of July.

Hi sometimes a simple solution can work try some hot tea. Or hot water used for tea.

My gas was really bad. I had my husband literally burp me like a baby and rub my back and shoulders. This helped to release some of the gas. For me it took a couple of weeks before the gas pain went away. Hope you feel better soon.

Hi there. Had my sleeve yesterday. Post ok the pain between my breasts was horrific. Pain meds wouldn’t touch it. Have been walking and walking and it seemed to go away. I am burping It’s 3am now and just did another five laps around the unit. Walking is key.
