I just had my surgery yesterday and the worst part is the gas. I'm taking gas x and tried to walk around a little but its not working. Do anyone have any suggestions????

Walk. I was told told walk for 10 minutes every hour. It helped tremendously!

Time is your biggest help. Mine took several days (4-5?) to go away.

Sorry-- I know it's no fun!

I tried everything and nothing helped me. Walking made it worse for me :-( Hoping you have better luck!

A heating pad really helped me. It will go away soon.

Walk, Walk, Walk. Walk from 5-10 minutes every hour and get a heating pad. These two things helped me. The pain will go away in a few day.

Stay Strong

Time and movement. It stinks, but it's really all that works. The nurse at my pre-op education class said you can take all the anti-gas meds in the world but it isn't going to help gas in the abdominal cavity - which is what they use during surgery. You just have to wait (and burp and toot) and walk to get it moving outward.

Walk everywhere in ur house. Walk circles around ur coffee table if u have to! It helps tremendously.

I feel your pain!!! I was banded a week ago and had terrible gas pain up until this Tuesday. The gas x didnt work for me so I called my docs office and they said use Milicon drops for babies. It really did the trick even on the first day
