anmiller07 8 Posted January 31, 2014 This gas pain is no joke, and my nurse said I can't take GasEx. But I made it! I'll add more when I can keep my eyes open. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DestinClair1983 72 Posted January 31, 2014 Congrats on your surgery! I know those gas pains were a killer the first week or so for me, but make sure to walk as frequently as possible to get that gas out of your system! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

K9chita 14 Posted January 31, 2014 Congrats!!! Why can't you take GasX? Gas-X works on gas in your stomach. the pains are from what is put in to allow the doctor to work...the pain is that gas putting pressure on you diaphragm. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
anmiller07 8 Posted February 2, 2014 Yes that's what I have gathered. I did finally pass gas today. Just once but even a little relief was welcome. Also....heating pad is my best friend right now. Really helps to makes me comfortable. I'm having trouble forcing myself to take in enough liquids. Even taking just one sip makes me feel like I am stuffed.
