Yes I have been on and off the heating pad and nothing, it really feels like I'm being strangled!

One of my lapband surgeries left me with excruciating gas pain and I swear I was going to die on the flight home. My daughter had the same surgery and she was fine. All I could do was walk and wait it out.

Sorry you're going through this.. Hang in there and move as much as possible

Oh yeah I gad gas pains too especially in my Hey I think everything is gonna be okay everyone just needs to take a breather. This show is gonna be Achest area. I know you say you are walking hut you got to do it more. 2nd day of surgery i did like 15 laps in a 24 hour period cause the gas pain was so bad. That was about a mile walk in the hosp. Every hour to two hours get up move around you wills start to notice the pain moves like mine moved from my chest to my stomach then my lower back.

Sorry about confusion up there i copied a previous convo in middle and hit send!! Lol the gist of this is to Walk walk walk and the gas will eventually move out if your body!! Goodluck

Great news around 3am I took two Gas X went for an hour long walk, came home and had a few teaspoons of hot tea, while sitting up wrapped up in a heating pad! Well I feel asleep and here I am awake gas all gone!!! Also a friend that's a nurse told me to cup my hands and pat my ribs and that also helped some gas escape! So pass on the news if anyone is suffering!!!!!!
