HELP! Unbearable gas pain in upper abdomen 😩



Recommended Posts

If you’d had the gastric sleeve, what did you do to help with gas pain?! What worked for you? Or what have you heard/read about that worked for other people? (Besides walking of course)

I had the rouen-y and my first day was so painful. The only thing to ease the pain was morphine. After that the suggestion to walk around should be embedded in your brain. That will help move the gas and jumpstart your digestive system. FYI- I also had to learn to let the gas go, as embarrassing as that may be. More room out than in!

I am almost 4 week post gastric sleeve. I had the worst gas pain all around my big incision, and had not gone to the bathroom for 6 days post surgery. I purchase Myralax, taking that along with Gas-X, and the next day I started to "go" and the gas pains subsided.

I don't know about you but I was advised not to take any gas relievers. My surgery was in Dec. and even now I still have gas, not painful though. Walking did do wonders for me! I pray your journey and your recovery continue to progress very well.

      Having gall bladder surgery in a few days and I so hope the recovery is easier than the one from the modified DS! I could use a bit of luck/pep talk for a change. I'm starting to be able to walk around without experiencing dizziness, but it would be great if the random pain in my chest and abdomen would go away!!

      Today was rough...
      I've been experiencing a headache all day today that just won't go away. I'm thinking it's now progressing into a migraine. Does anyone else get headaches from taking vitamin B12? I did some research and learned that usually a lack of B12 causes headaches. But I've noticed when I take it, I have reoccurring headaches. 😫
