Gas....

[PEvette 297]

I wanted to ask about gas after the procedure....how long did it stay with you and what were some things you did to eliminate it quickly????

Walk, walk and walk some more. I had to pee like a race horse for 2 days due to the IV so I made a point to walk around the nurse's station every time I got up to use the bathroom. When I was too nauseous to walk (first day), the nurses brought me hot blankets to lay across my belly and chest. That helped too. Good luck and walk a LOT!!!! Oh, and I had next to no gas pain left after about 24-28 hours.

I agree with Nancy... WALK, WALK, WALK... Mine only lasted a couple of days once I started to pass it!
