I am 4 days post-op and in a lot of discomfort from gas. I have nausea and sharp chest tightness and pain. In the hospital, my labwork, ekg, etc. were fine so the pain was attributed to gas from the procedure. The incision pain is tolerable so I've discontinued tylenol w/ codine and am using extra strength tylenol now. I am taking gas-x, beano, milk of magnesia for 3 days and there is still not much relief. I am wondering when and if this pain will go away or if this is something I will have to learn to live with. I have been in touch with my surgeon and he reassures me what I am experiencing is normal. I am seeing him this Thursday. I am not one to complain about pain much ~~ so for me to feel such discomfort, is saying something. I have monitored what I've eaten and spoken with my nutritionist today. I am not taking in too much and I have measured everything --- need help...

Thanks so much! I will try that:)
