Surgery went well, gas pain is killing me!!!!!

The only pain I have is the gas, its nothing like I've ever felt!

Try Gas-x tabs, they sit on your tongue and dissolve. And walk! The more you walk the less gas you will have. Good luck! Karen

Try a heatIng pad and have someone rub your back or pat it - that has been the best help. Good luck each day gets better - promise!

GasX, heating pad and walking around my apt were what got me through it. Well, the Lortab may have helped a little bit too. lol It will pass, sheriah. It may not seem like it right now, but in a couple of weeks you will only a have a faint memory of it. hang in there.

Gas-x strips worked better for me then the chewables. I also walked as much as possible. It will go away, I remember how painful it was, but I'm 6 weeks post op and it's crazy how I felt like I was dying and complaining and slowly it went away in 2 weeks. Good luck!

Thanks guys,I'm taking GasX strips which help temporarily. Sitting up and walking around helps.Since its cold out, can't go walking:(

Sheriah, I used the gas-x strips and walked all over my house. I walked day and night and didn't get any sleep until the day after my banding. But I'm now a week out and I feel great! So it will pass. Good luck to you!
