Does anyone have any suggestions on how to get rid of gas pains? I had my surgery on Tuesday and my gas pains are very servere and baby Milicon drops and adult gas strips are not working. I have also been walking and moving alot trying to help with my situation but I still am not getting alot of relieve. Suggestions Please.....

Are you drinking plenty of fluids? Drink drink drink and move around. I had the same problem and thought it was unbearable. I used the Gas x chewables and that helped along with moving around. the gas continues for me now and again, I just drink something hot and it helps too. I do more gas passing than burping and it feels great.

For three days after surgery, I would take my liquid pain killers and a gasex strip every 3 hours (as soon as I felt the pain coming back). I had to sleep in a semi-upright position as well. I walked as much as I could, but to be honest, I didn't walk much. This allowed me to heal and the gas pains and other pains subsided after 3 days. It took about a week before I could sleep horizontally and I only had gas pains on a sporadic basis (which the gasex strips eased). It took approximately 4 weeks to feel completely normal again.

Fluids and walking and mainly just the passage of time...this part sucks but it will be worth it.

There's a gas relief product called Phazime (sp?) Got rid of the gas after surgery in about 5 minutes. it's in a purple or pink box.

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
