Last week I had my surgery revision from band to sleeve. I am having all kinds of problems and I wanted to know if this is normal. I can't seem to walk enough to get rid of the gas. It just keeps coming and gets so bad. On top of that I have had diarrhea since Friday. Every time I think it is gas about to pass it isn't. Does anyone have any information that could help me?

Hi,

Gas is very painful and annoying. I had a hard time with my band surgery. I would suggest gas x, hot liquids (tea or even water). It will get better.

Hey Tracy,

I'm sorry the gas is giving you fits. Have you tried a heating pad on low? I also did some soft stretching because I had gas bubbles trapped under my left collarbone.

Right now for the diarrhea, it's liquids in, liquids out. It does get better once you get to full liquids when you can incorporate yogurt. At least that was my experience.

Gas X strips helped as well.
