It's caused by trapped gas. They pump your abdominal cavity full of air so they have more room to maneuver the instruments and can see to do the surgery. Walking helps move the gas around so your body can get rid of it. Walk around as much as you can.
Taking short breaths is not a good idea. You could end up with pneumonia. Taking deep breaths, even if you have pain, helps move the gas around too.
You could try a heating pad. That helped me a lot.

I had the operation this Thursday 7/9/2020 I spent the night in the hospital and then was discharged 24hours later. I know about the pain in the stomach and such but I have had REALLY bad sharp pains in my left shoulder when I breath deeply ever since. Has anyone else had this problem? It hurts so bad that I have been trying to only take short shallow breaths and even those sometimes hurt.
Hi everyone! I recently made a weight loss journey on Instagram! In 2014 I lost 160lbs after having the gastric sleeve. I gained about 80 back after some life events and a pregnancy, but my new goal was to get down 120lbs more, so far I'm 7.8lbs down!. I made this Instagram page to keep myself accountable, and also help others be inspired! I love to help people, so please feel free to ask any questions. It is a very very new Instagram, so please bare with me while I get some more content ?
This is the first time I've ever done something like this, so I'd also really love feedback on what you guys would like to see! Thanks guys!

Well 2 days after surgery and the gas releasing no joke on some pain. Drinking a lot slower than the just after surgery time. I had some bouts of nausea but it was not f I'm drinking water I believe it was from the liquid medicine. 1 wound looks like full of blood but no pain but 2 areas of the 6 are feeling itchy and stinging. All seems to be doing alright and no major complaints. I'm glad it is over and soon a new me will come about.
Appreciate everyone's input and information. Down 8 pounds - and yes - aware now that portions both at meals and light snacks had become bigger. Also - had not practiced the 30 minutes before/after liquid intake at meals. Also - lab tests results show a difference in hormone level associated with weight gain, lethargy and irritability. Feeling more focused and and trying to be consciously present when eating meals.
Thank you to everyone. Just wanted to share in case anyone else has struggled with these setbacks.
Well sleeve done. Not having issues drinking or walking about I'm so thankful for the info about my concerns.
Ya the air bubble is painful but I walked around the hall quite a few times now and all seems alright. I'm sure the pain killers are making the 6 entry points painless so that's nice for now.
Life's good for now
