getnsknyntx 11 Posted September 28, 2012 Getting up and walking. Also keep your bed in a somewhat sitting up position. That's what helped me. Got sleeved Tuesday and doing great!! Walking really helped me!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
It's all new 453 Posted September 28, 2012 The only thing that I have heard that is truly effective is walking, walking and more walking. The more you can move the better. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Joisey01 87 Posted September 28, 2012 If your talking about the gas that they use to inflate your stomach, there isn't much you can take for that. If your talking about stomach gas, walk, walk, walk, walk and walk some more! This too, shall pass. Literally Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
elibu 17 Posted September 28, 2012 I would lay in bed and cup my hands and lightly pat my stomach...Kind of like burping a baby but on your belly..It really helped me to move the gas some..an of course walking... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Fiddleman 4,376 Posted September 28, 2012 Pass as gas as possible. Seriously walk, walk and walk some more. Walking really helps to get rid of the painful gas you are dealing with now. It usually gets better for folks after week 2 and then gone by week 4. Not to dash your hopes, but i found gas substantially increases after switching to solid food. I don't even try and be discrete about it any longer when at home, even the dog is jealous of my ability to fill the room. Sorry, I am in a weird mood where everything seems funny. Must be because it is Friday. 1 Joisey01 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
