I was sleeved May 1,2019. I also had to have a hiatal hernia repair as well. Arrived at the hospital at 7:30. Went back to surgery around 9:30. Home by 3. The first 48 hours were pretty rough. The gas was trapped in my neck, shoulders, shoulder blades and chest. I’m better now. Just very sore. Thanks to everyone who sent well wishes and checked on me. You guys are the best. By the way, I was sleeved at St Vincent’s East in Birmingham,Alabama by Dr.Long at Birmingham Minimally Invasive Surgery.

Still very sore. Thank you ☺️

I was sleeved on the same day! They attempted bypass 6 weeks prior but couldn’t do it due to adhesions. The day after was by far the worst for me. I have one really painful area on my right side that hurts with movement. If not for that I would be feeling great. I also had hiatal hernia repair

I have gas pain still. Not nearly as bad as the first night though!

I never had bad gas pains. Mine is all in one area. I also have no problems getting in my fluids which worries me this early. Everything just seems to slide on through. I am limiting myself and not testing it but I kind of wish I had more restriction

The first 24 hrs was terrible for me wrk the gas. It was even trapped in my neck.

The gas was the worst, it does go away though. It hit me hard the day after surgery, which had been going exceedingly well prior to the gas pains that night, i thought i was having a heart attack. I'm at 6 weeks out now and have felt pretty normal for about the last 3 weeks.
