12 Hours Post Op

[akurre12 86]

I'm twelve hours post op and having issues getting the gas out. I know this is a big problem for most, but I could really use some advice. I've taken 4 gas x strips so far and not much help. Is this something that doesn't get better the first day? Or should I stop being so impatient and just left the gas x do it's magic? Lol

Don't worry. It's normal. Try not to O-D on gas ex.

I experienced air pain for about two weeks post-op. It was the WORST under my right shoulder blade. Walking helps. Gas-X too. I found that a heating pad on my back would give pretty good relief.

I'm five days post-op....and I have never had this much gas in all my life! I'm always complaining to my husband before about his gas but this is awful!

Thanks for the replies! I'll try and walk more, I bet that will help. Courtney's mom, did you have trouble getting the gas out the first day? I think what my issue is I'm afraid to try push it out because of my sore abdomen, tmi I'm sorry!
