line-dancer 810 Posted October 30, 2013 Its the gas I wish someone had told me to talk milk of magnesum to get things moving softly that would have relieved the pressure alot faster. It usually the air in the body not in the stomache. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'm not sure my bottle said I just got home from the hospital and I am 24 hours post op as well. Your body will absorb the gas over time and it is true that walking helps.
