    Default Hello Fellow Sleevers

    I had my lapband revision to gastric sleeve last Wed 6/20/12 at Providence Hospital in Washington DC. I hv had low energy, but yesterday I felt I was becoming successful at learning how to drink...and low and behold GAS PAIN has surfaced. This is the worst pain so far. I pray I resolves soon.

    It IS horrible! If the gas is in your intestinal tract, then Gas X and walking will help. If it is in your abdominal cavity, left over from the surgery, then, rest assured, it WILL reabsorb in time. How much time, you ask. Everyone is different, but it my 9th day post surgery was when it finally left me alone.
    Be well.
