[thickness213 9]

So I had my bypass on Tuesday December 30th 2014 right before the new year. This gas its crazy. The doctor's and the nurses said after I passed gas i would be ok. Now I'm home and still have some gas. When will it go away? I'm having my chicken broth and Crystal light . Please help stomach is in knots

It takes around 5 days to a week, so give it a little more time.

It takes about a week. Walk, walk, walk!!!!! Hang in there, it will get better.

It should start going away. I found that a heating pad helped, that and walking as much as possible, Even a walk from one end of your house to the other will help. I promise, it gets better.

It went on for about a week for me. And don't always assume it's only gas, if you catch my drift!

Gas x strips 3 times a day. Helped me so much.

Walking is the cure, but it will take time. My worst day was my first day home from the hospital, Day 3. You will start to feel better! Hang in there!

After you walk sit on edge of chair like it is your toilet bend over massaging your lower belly and rock a little this will increase motility as well.

I had my surgery on Dec 30th also. Have been having same problems with gas issue. Seems like I'm better today than the first couple of days after surgery. I have on my grocery list to purchase Gas X. The doctor said he could help. I'm glad to here most people are saying in a week or so it gets better. I have been walking which I can feel that helps.
