Surgery on 8/27, now home and feeling gassy!

Any advice on how long the gas will last or what to do for it?

Hi Dandi and congrats on your surgery. I'm sure someone will pop in here to answer you soon.

From the info. that I have walking and more walking will help. Also I have heard that a heating pad is helpful. Have you tried the gasX strips that melt on your tongue?

Hope you feel better soon.

Walking definitely helps. I found the GasX strips to be useful unless the gas was really low. In that case, I used a heating pad, and more walking.

Congrats on your surgery, and I hope you are feeling well other than the gas.

Hi Dandi - I found that a heating pad when I wasn't walking really helped the gas or at least the gas pains to go away. Glad you are home and hope you're feeling well other than gassy.

Hey there! When I came home I had really bad gas pains. I didn't try the gas-x strips, I imagine they would be very helpful. My only relief was walking. It really did help. It was the last thing I wanted to do when I was in pain but it was the only thing that would make it go away! It last about a week and now I am pain free! Hope that helps!
