MOMW 71 Posted January 9, 2013 This is very common after surgery. Try a heating pad. Also, the best is to get up and walk. It is the co2 releasing from the surgical procedure. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sarahzamudio1091 185 Posted January 9, 2013 Yeah I try walking every 30 minutes it does help Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jack Fabulous 35 Posted January 9, 2013 It happens to everyone. I tried walking and Gas-X but nothing but time helped. It got worse before it got better. It should go away in about a week. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JerseyGirl68 1,172 Posted January 9, 2013 I had the same issue with gas, even when I was sitting, I would roll my shoulders back one at a time to encourage movement. Seemed to help, but then again I don't have much to compare it to. Good luck ! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ascooke 50 Posted January 9, 2013 Gasx and moving helps for me but it takes about 15 min or so. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
