Taels2013 33 Posted August 8, 2013 Kim, get up and walk as soon as you can after surgery and walk every hour. It's hard but it will get the gas out of you. The gas pain was way worse than the surgery pain, I swear. Walk walk walk! I walked twice per hour in the hosp. The nurses said they never saw a bariatric patient walk so much. LOL. But it worked. That gas was out of me in a day. Again, good luck. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Paamie 15 Posted August 8, 2013 Believe it when they say to walk. It felt like I was having a heart attack from the gas. It does pass when you walk a lot. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
