Hello all,
I am 3 days post op and I have been drinking and walking. However, I still have horrible pain in my stomach. I'm assuming it's gas pain. Does anyone recommend ways to lessen the pain.

I heard to bring the Di-Gel strips, not the pills. Hope it helps, my surgery isn't scheduled until 6/24/15, but I already got my strips at Walnart, lol!

Hey! We were sleeved on the same day! I too had horrid pain and still have a little bit of pain as well as bloating/swelling! I found that walking around at any point I can, and also walking around outside helped a lot. I added gas-X peppermint strips and had like 5 yesterday and it helped a TON! Also, don't believe that your pain isn't still from the incision and surgery. I am still taking the pain medication about once a day. I never had crazy pain and being a doctor's kid, I am super careful about overusing pain meds. Listen to your body and use them as needed! Let me know if I can help in anyway! ~Heidi
