jacksmommy719 63 Posted September 26, 2012 Hello, I am now a post oper!! Today is my first day home. The gas pains are unbearable. Taken a Pepcid , a gas ex and I'm sitting with a heating pad on back. I can't burp or fart. It seriously feels like a heart attack. Anyone have any suggestions??

Socketpinch 15 Posted September 26, 2012 Did the doctor give you a script of Levsin? If so put that under your tongue, chew a gas x and get up and walk a bit. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jacksmommy719 63 Posted September 26, 2012 No rx other then for pain. The gas ex helps a bit but not for the shoulder pain. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ntaschner 3 Posted September 26, 2012 I had the same problem let me tell you walking works wonders I was stubborn in the hospital and didn't walk when the pain hit I walked and was passing gas and burping in no time. Hope it helps. Congrats!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Seriously- I personally do not believe gas x helps that gas. It's trapped inside the cavity and gas x is for your your stomach.
