Neyad-

How long did it take for your bloating to go away? I'm day 5 and I can't stand the bloating. I've been walking around quite a bit, but I haven't been going on designated "walks". Any light at the end of the tunnel? When will I feel normal again?? haha.

Ok now i hope im not the one who has/had this problem.. Today is day 5 post op .. Iv been a little bloated but today im soo bloated. I look like im 9months pregnant and i cant even suck in my gut. So i dunno if this is normal .. Thanks guy

I am post op day 6... I'm finding a lot of people have the same problem with may different solutions. For me, it helped to walk and walk a lot. also use gas x or whatever gas relief med you can find. allow yourself to "pass gas".

I'm a month out and I still feel bloated a few times a week! Gas is still an issue although nothing like the first 2 wks post op! After I eat solids I tend to feel gassy so I don't know when or if the gas issue ever fully goes away but it does get much better. My stomach has gone down considerably! Gas x, heat pad, walking & massages -especially for the shoulders & neck really helped me.

I am Day #32 post op and I got relief around Day #29. I bought a homeopathic pill from Henry's. The box says "Gas". It helped and then I take Miralax in my coffee in the AM. I still get bloated after eating sometimes - perhaps too when I eat too much. Gas-x did not really help me. I am now wondering if the bloating/gas lasts for some people. Let's hope not. It, however, is not the really bad bloat that hurts because your pants are so tight.
