Sounds weird but I tried resting on my right side one day at the hospital (I'm a tummy sleeper so sleeping was tough at the beginning) and accidentally, that seemed to get out LOTS of gas for me. More than even walking did. It seemed to start the gases flowing too. Was burping up a storm for a good few mins lol. Not lady like but totally effective for me. Lots of luck!

Same thing for me with no pain from surgery but the pressure from the gas bubble. I took a hot shower in the hospital and for some reason it was the signal for my body to start to release the bubble. I used a heating pad over the bubble for 2 days and continued to walk until it finally all dissipated.

I do feel for you.

It's already been 4 days and at this point it is almost unbearable.

I'm sorry you are still feeling that way! I have found that sleeping on the sofa the past few nights semi elevated with my knees up has really helped me. I am a 28ther and on the 29th & 30th my forearms hurt so bad from gas that it was unbearable. Today I have a whole new issue & am running for the potty...

I had the same problem! I wanted to die!! I just kept up the walking! I tried gas x strips but that seemed to mobilize the gas and make it angry or something!!!

I made my own heating pad (pinterest: rice in a sock and heat for 2 min) and I would put that on the gassy areas (chest, shoulders, tummy) and that helped a little bit.

The gas will go away! The nurse at the hospital said it can take up to 3 days to pass gas for the first time after I was in tears at the hospital telling everyone they used too much gas on me. Everyone's experience is different.

The major pain was gone on day 6 with minor pain here and there that I would just try to walk off.

Try extending your walk distance and frequency!
