Aquilla

The gas usually expereinced immediately after the operation is felt in teh shoulder and sometimes stomach. This gas is the carbon dioxide that was used during the operation to "pump up" the stoamch cavity so the surgeon could more easliy move around our innards. The gas post op + a few weeks is just the stomach getting used to the new type of food, bearing in mind that most fruit juices tend to ferment a little in the tummy and so just give off gas. I would first try a heating pad if this doesnt work try to old remedy of walking more often (this will allow the gas to come down and exit Sometimes ice chips are known to cause gas. If you continue to have problems, call your doctor. Hope this helps!!!
