ImNRN2012 0 Posted June 6, 2011 After struggling with horrible gas pains for the first few days post-op I finally got relief!! What did i do? Walked 6 blocks, took some extra strength gas-x with maalox, took and aleve, and laid on a heating pad all night on the opposite side of the the gas pains (mine where on the left). I also stopped laying on the left side which I thought was helping!! I woke up feeling brand new. I hope this helps Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
