Gas pain or something else? 3 fays post op



Recommended Posts

I had surgery on Thursday and I'm in so much pain I want to cry, not sure if its gas...I'm okay when I'm lying down but as soon as I sit up and drink anything or eat my Jello or what have you I have this awful pain all through my stomach and the space in between my chest...anyone lease have this? I'm trying gas-x but nothing is happening...

Sounds like gas, and also the air they fill u with during surgery. It gets trapped and takes a while to dissolve. Keep taking gas-x. Use heating pads, and walk as much as possible.

Sounds like gas but you need to walk to get rid of it. Staying in bed will not help move it out.

You have to move as much as possible. By day 3 I was up doing fairly normal stuff and off pain meds. I did have horrible gas still in my shoulder. I think it lasted for a week or so.

Called the doctor they told me to come in or go to ER, the pain is a sharp stabbing pain starting in my chest and going towards my left side, it's worst than my c-section! I cried today:(

I also walked for almost 3 hours today but to no avail...

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
