I have the same type of pain and at time it is excrutiating. Gas X chewable tabs help but only for a little while. The pain syrup is very short acting. i can sleep only for 1 -2 hours. people suggest walking and i have done that with little to no relief.
this is my 3rd day post-op and the gas is flowing. the only issue i am having is my abdomen is tender and that is expected. other than that i am doing good.
Officially apart of the "bandwagon" and i feel pretty good. moderate to m ild gas, which is not relieved by walking. Other than that i feel good and excited about what the future has in store.
