Gas Pains

[txdiva 13]

I had my lap band surgery yesterday along with the hernia repair and I am really sore this morning. I also have bad gas pains. I have been walking some and taking Gas X but I was wondering if anyone here has any other suggestions for getting rid of the pain. Also, how long does the gas pains last?

Walk, Walk, Walk my gas pains lasted for over 2-weeks, plus I had the worse case of nausea. Exactly 2-weeks to the day, I woke up and set up in bed and said wow I feel great. Just be patient, I promise it will all be better soon!!

I had mine 9 days ago and I had bad gas pain at the start..it's easing now but sometimes when I want to burp I feel the pain. I walk as much as possible, take gas-x, and I ask my mom to massage my back up and down so i can burp and release some gas.

Use a heating pad as well, that worked for me. I had bad gas pains for about 8 days. I am 16 days post-op and still get them every so often.

I had my surgery Tuesday morning. For me the gas pains were bad for the first 36 hours. After that, they really subsided & are now (72 hours post-op) only a slight nuisance.
