I went in at 730 yesterday morning for my sleeve. I'm only getting about 1 hour sleep at a time. Very, very sore. And I'm not belching much when I walk. Not passing gas at all. Nurse says little belching is normal. I just remember my wife letting some loud ones out after hers. Anyone else experience this?

I think my belching in the hospital was minimal, but the more I walked the more I released

I have been walking as much as I can stand to. Really depends on the pain. And every time I do, I belch. But just little burps here and there.

Belching in the hospital was minimal, belching now (2.5 years later) after meals, whoooo yaaaaaaa!

Belching was minimal for me too. And not to be nasty, but i was having serious gas pains 24 hours post op and that next night i must have farted a good 20 times. The next morning felt like a new man, all i felt was a little abdominal pain like i did a ab work out. It will pass my man. And its worth every minute. Just get through these next couple weeks. You got this,

I think I belched for the first time just before I was discharged, after I was allowed sips of water. I think I passed gas more than I belched in the first few days. I was just glad it was coming out somewhere! Walking definitely helps with the soreness, pressure and gas pain.

Congratulations on a successful procedure!

So now my new problem. I need to pass gas. My stomach is rumbling and earlier I was able to squeeze out a small one. But it hurts to push. Any suggestions? Belching is fine. This is all lower gut.

Much better. It just took a little effort. Never did I think I'd describe a fart as a great feeling.
