    GAS Pains Post-Op Surgery

    Hello, congratulations and yes the stomach pain from surgery will go away before you know it. I used a pillow against my stomach to get up for support which helped a lot. Take care of yourself and let others help you up the first few days if you have someone who can. Best wishes...

    Thank you for your reply. I drank lots of tea but it didn't seem to help much. The activity or just the time seems to have made the most difference. Feeling more human today...

    GAS Pains Post-Op Surgery

    Thank you. You were right, lots of walking and getting up and down from my desk apparently did the trick. Today is the first day I have felt human; only took me 8 days.

    GAS Pains Post-Op Surgery

    Thank you for your reply. Yes, it was miserable and I probably didn't do as much walking as I should. Today is day 8 and for the first time my stomach is not hard or in pain. I went back to work yesterday so all the activity must of really helped. Hope you are feeling better, if not, try walking and getting up and down alot, seems to have worked for me.
  8. Hello, this is my first time to this site and having trouble finding an answer to address gas pains after surgery. I had my surgery on 1/28/08 and have been in pain ever since. It comes and goes and sometimes it feels like pressure in the middle of my chest. The Dr. looked at my port and said it looked good. Is it normal to have pains for 6 days after surgery? It has definetly slowed down my recovery and it is hard to get all my water in and sometimes protein. Thank you for any insight into this new LBP's experience.
