Motility problem: In sleeve resection where at least or more than 80 % stomach is removed , small gastric tube or sleeve is made. Stomach may be unable to empty, you may need motility studies , & gastric emptying ( GI ) may be due to partial vagus nerve loss although bariatric surgeons believe physiologically vagus denervation is beneficial see your surgeon.

Walk a lot: Gas pains after laparoscopic surgery usually improve in 1-2 days. Walking helps. Some people swear by simethicone as well that you could try.
