Gas pain!

[Kichi 9]

I had gastric bypass yesterday and I've had so much gas pressure and pain. They say to walk, but that hurts and all I want to do i sleep.< /p>

Walking will help. Also have a friend do karate chops on your neck and shoulders several times a day. Good luck!

Get up and move around!! It will help that gas dissipate much more quickly.

You have to push yourself. You can do it. I started walking 4 hrs after my sergery. I was out of the hospital the following day. I pushed myself to walk and I had a speedy recovery. The more you walk the beter you will feel. Good luck! Stay positive. =)

You got to get moving...regardless of how much you want to lay down. This is one of the first examples of having to push through and do what is good for you...there will be a plethora of similar things in the future...that's why this is NOT the " easy way out."

Honey you need a good fart or two. Push yourself to walk. Also when in the bed do arm raises as if you were lifting dumb bells. If you can ease up on the amount of pain meds you take, it will make you more alert and less sleepy. You've got to move to get that gas out.

Walking is absolutely critical to move that gas out of your tummy. When lying down use a heating pad, it really helps. Als gas x chewables or strips will do you a lot of good. Like someone else said, try to back off pain meds, the do not help the gas pain and they make you very sleepy.

This is your first big hurdle, you have to push yourself hard.

Last but not least, you must sip sip sip all day long to stay hydrated. That can also cause you to feel sleepy, lightheaded and nauseous.

Good luck to you!
