Some nurses swear by peppermint tea. I tried it the first few days post-op, and I did not have any gas pains. I did get gas pains around day five, so maybe there's a correlation with drinking the peppermint tea... I don't know. I just knew I could not keep drinking so much peppermint flavored tea

I have done the blood clot walk. It also has helped with the gas pain. I have been banded for 41 hours.

gas ex strips worked well and walking outside around the block. The rolling shoulders also helped me. Took around 5 days to go away.
