OK, I don't feel so bad now, I was in church and was trying to be discreet lol. Didn't happen, the pastor came over to say hello and I went to stand up to greet him. Well, there was no discreet about it. I ripped right in front of the pastor! It felt so good though to get it out of my system.

Good Stuff , I read this post last night and got some gas ex strips. Thank god. It was really helpful. Now if I could just cough or sneeze , OMG thought I would die !

How long is the gas problem going to go on? any idea? I assumed this was just a few days post op.

Gas strips are amazing. But some people say the gas could go up to 2-3 weeks later but mild to none. I'm 5 days post op and take gas x maybe once a day opposed to 4 times a day like a few days ago.

My surgery was on Monday may 6th. Yesterday I had a few moments where I had mild gas pain in my shoulder. Today I haven't had any gas pain. It's weird, at certain points of the day I might feel a sensation in my shoulder (not quite pain, just a weird sensation), the exact spot the gas pains use to be but it's a very dull feeling. Not pain, just. Enough to know that something's going on. As far as passing gas/burping, I'm still doing that far more often than usual (which my 5 year old son loves! Lol). Good luck! Gas x helps, walking trumps all!
