brandnewme2015 217 Posted April 2, 2015 My surgery went well. Found a pretty sizable hiatal hernia while he was in there so repaired it as well. Lots of gas pain when I first got out of surgery, but it has since subsided. I walked as soon as I was able, and I do believe it has helped relieve the gas. I am not hungry or thirsty, but will work on getting those fluids in so I can go home this evening and get a full night of sleep. Best wishes for a safe and quick recovery everyone!

SimplySharon 30 Posted April 2, 2015 What does the "gas pain" feel like? So I don't freak out and can recognize immediately that it's just gas pains...where are they felt? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CrissyBat 60 Posted April 2, 2015 What does the "gas pain" feel like? So I don't freak out and can recognize immediately that it's just gas pains...where are they felt? For me the gas pain felt like heavy pressure between my rib cage above my stomach with sharp pain when I would breath. Not fun!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
brandnewme2015 217 Posted April 2, 2015 SimplySharon for me, lots of rumblings in my abdomen and needing to burp alot. Sometimes gas does get trapped in your chest and it is extremely uncomfortable and can be very painful. I know it sounds gross, but pass gas often, burp frequently, and if allowed take GasX.
