I am 3 days out from VGS. Obviously there's going to be some pain from surgery and the air they pumped in. That being said, is it normal to have waves of pressure/pain? Specifically, it starts locally near my diaphragm and then radiates outward for a period of about 5 seconds. Then it goes away entirely, just to have a another wave a few minutes later.

Has anyone else experienced this?

Hi there, yes I had the same exact thing. It was just gas and the more I walked and moved around the better I started feeling. I’m 5 days post-op and no longer have the pain and pressure in my abdomen. I hope it resolves quickly for you!
