Gas pain

[deeberry 9]

The good thing for me is I didn't experience any gas pain that was my worst fear But before I was out of surgery my doctors Got all the air out of me So I never experience the gas pains So anyone going into surgery soon. I would definitely ask the doctor how to get the air out I think they push down on your stomach

Yes it can be done, but not by pushing on your abdomen. 2 ways it can be done is to remove it through your Pulmonary system or intraperitoneal normal saline infusion..either of which I imagine is expensive. For most the gas pain resolves in days-week .

FYI:Upper abdominal and shoulder pain after laparoscopic surgery is related to diaphragmatic irritation caused by retained carbon dioxide, which then causes referred pain to the shoulder via the phrenic nerve.
