Hakuna Matata 5 Posted January 21, 2013 I am post op 6 day and I am just now feeling better. It was awful. I did not get any relief until I took some MOM. For some reason, I could not fart. I know TMI but I just want you to know I totally understand what you are going through right now. Today is the 1st day I have truly felt better. Hang in there....

Maybe tmi, but if I could get it to pass below, I know I would feel much better! Wondering how long to wait on that MOM! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Hakuna Matata 5 Posted January 21, 2013 My doctor said I had to wait 5 days but I was able to swollow some gas relief pills and they have more medicine in them than the gas x strips. I tried everything the strips, mirilax, heating pad, rocking, walked 1-2 miles a day...i just wanted to cry. My poor family...we celebrated when i finally was able to pass gas. Who would have thought that would be something to Celebrate (Smile) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Misty_eyes 79 Posted January 21, 2013 Post of day#4 for me---- I am in the same boat. Whenever I have the pain it really hurts and all I want is to pass gas. I have tried all of the things you guys mentioned, I need to be patient and give it more time. Just wish for this pain to be over. It makes me not want to sip and drink coz everytime I do-- I feel it all over again ;( Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Mini Me Wanna~Be 56 Posted January 21, 2013 I have not had surgery yet but I'm assuming the gas pains everyone's talking about is from them putting gas in us to blow us up a little so they can get around inside of us, am I correct? If so then how would Gas X, MOM, any of the over the counter gas aids help, it's not digestive gases that are the issues?? I'm sorry if this is a stupid ? I'm just a bit confused is all. Again I have not had surgery yet. Thanks in advance for your answers :} Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Hakuna Matata 5 Posted January 21, 2013 There are no true theories of what does or does not work however when it does happen to you, you are willing to try whatever to get some relief. Good luck to you! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Again I have not had surgery yet. Thanks in advance for your answers :}[/quote'] Nothing helped me. The gas is gone in a few hours, it's the stretched nerves that are the problem after that. A heating pad surely helped some and walking made it temporarily feel better but as soon as I sat or laid down again it was back. It doesn't last long though (a few days at most) and the you'll be worrying about something else! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
