Two days post op - sleeve

[Hjd]

Hello everyone! I’m new to the group. Had the sleeve surgery on Wednesday 3/11. Questions about pain...I don’t have any incision pain. I physically feel great. No hunger etc... I seem to be struggling with gas pain. Shooting pain between my breasts. Has anyone else had this and can you share how long it lasted?
thank you

I didn't have any, but everyone says walk a lot, and it seems to go away in a couple days or so.

Congratulations on your surgery! Gas pain is normal for a few days post surgery. Walking is the best way to work that out of your system. My doctor also recommended an OTC gas remedy like Gas-X or Phazyme.

My gas pain radiated to my back and shoulders, they told me that it was normal, some people feel it differently. It went away after a few days of walking so I'm sure yours will too. Congrats on your surgery!!!

sounds like the pain I had after surgery. they said it was the air they pumped into me during the surgery. when I got the pains I would get up and walk, that helps a lot. the 3rd. day home we started walking at a walking track and I took an easy lap. started walking daily.the best I can remember it lasted just a few days.
