Gasey problems

I was just banded this past Monday 10/3. However, here it is Saturday evening and I still have very bad pains on my shoulder which I understand are due to gas problems. I have done the walking with my hands up in the air to make me look like a monkey . But I thought for sure by now it would be gone, any ideas or suggestions on how to get rid of it? The only thing that seems to help some is to lay down with a heating pad. Any help would be appreciated.

I remember reading a post where someone got relief by lying down with their tush raised up toward the sky. I think the concept was that the gas would rise to the highest point it could... Hope you feel better, soon.

walk, walk, walk. Then walk again.

Really, only time will make it go away. In another week, you won't remember what it feels like.

If you have a rocking chair or a computer chair that leans back...rock, rock, rock and take Gas-X...that is the only thing that helped me....Hope this helps!

Hey there - I was banded 10/6 and gas pains creep up around my left shoulder blade at times. My husband rubs and gently pounds on my back. Helps a lot.

What are you eating?

This sounds kind of silly but it worked for me. I took a pillow and held it over my port area because it was sore, then I sat on the edge of the bed and gently bounced up an down, and it would cause me to burp! LOL

I must say, sorry to be gross, but I never thought passing gas would feel so good during those first post op days!! I was like "Yippeee"!!! LOL

I walked alot and took gas x. It will get better!

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
