LoriRN 13 Posted July 22, 2012 Have you been taking Gas X every 4-6 hours? Also getting up walking and a warm shower on your belly will help too. I was banded on the 18th Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MissErni31 0 Posted July 22, 2012 Gas-X became my best friend after my surgery. Hot showers, a warm heating pad, and lying down for awhile also helped ease the pains. After I would lie down, once i did get up and walk around, it was easier to belch (or whatever...) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Newbie72 0 Posted July 22, 2012 Heat pads, warm showers, walking and if the gas pain is in the high left tip, arm windmills and arm above head will help, doing his while walking, sit down for a few minutes and start again. When it gets to bad, heat pack, lay down on your side and push heat into it. Hope you get some relief. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
