GAS & Pain!! 1 week out

[Htx_Pepper 28]

I find my gas pain is the worst when ive not eaten anything and especially in the mornings!

Sometimes its hard to button my pants bcuz my tummy is filled with this air.

Ive had gas ex and tums. I walk when ever possible i do arm and back stretches to aleviate the trapped gas beneath my rib cage.

Does anyone have any better solution to rid this once and for all? Or will this be a side effect im forced to live with??

If you have not tried a heating pad try that it helped me a lot.

My surgery was 2 weeks ago today. I did not really start to feel relief until day #9. That was my turning point. The pain started to subside, the nausea got better, and the gas started coming out. I actually think that the Gas-X made it worse! I feel better when I don't take it.

One thing that really helps is prilosec. It could be that you have some increased acid production. I crush it and dilute it with 1 oz Water and take it. It really does work.

Only thing to do is stay mobile as much as possible, use a heating pad for comfort and realize that this is temporary as uncomfortable as it is.
