samelton68 64 Posted July 24, 2015 did you try some Gas Strips? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
simplyamy 14 Posted July 24, 2015 I developed that during week 1. Very painful. I noticed that when I slept on my tummy, I was able to burp some of the gas out.... Not sure if that helps. Keep walking though Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
naturegirl 320 Posted July 24, 2015 My surgery was the day after hours and I'm still working through the gas. Lots of walking and hoping that'll pass soon. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
PattyGirl24 5 Posted July 25, 2015 did you try some Gas Strips? No I couldn't find those I found gas x pill form and nothing the only thing giving me relief is lil remedies infant gas relief gel the adult kind was not . Thanks look into the strips! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
angbutler0712 30 Posted July 25, 2015 It took me 5 days post op to feel normal again. Walk walk walk.. Thats the only thing that helped me work the gas out of my chest and shoulders.. Hang in there. It gets better. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Marye382 29 Posted July 26, 2015 I was consistently moving too after my surgery. The gas pain was the worse thing!! At 3 weeks I felt so much better, that was when I felt normal again. Give it time, I know it's a terrible feeling but it will be over very soon Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
teitei636 54 Posted July 26, 2015 Had my surgery on the 21st---I could hardly wait to get home and get a gas x gas strip. I only needed them the 2 days(day and 1/2) home. I guess my body needed a jump start. Walking did help move the pain, but that strip did it for me. Good luck! We are a day apart, I'm much more comfortable once that gas was able to move more freely and out of my body. Now, my gas is the typical gas. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Freida Kohler 0 Posted July 27, 2015 I had surgery on July 20... I'm having a real hard time even drinking anything or broth without the tight chest feeling.. I have to raise my hands to stretch out to get it down.. Anyone else?!? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bbsbk221 23 Posted July 27, 2015 Hi, I had the worst gas pain ever for about two weeks, but as soon as I started walking around more and eating gasX like candy it stopped. Ice packs and heat helped also. Hang in there, it gets better. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
naturegirl 320 Posted July 27, 2015 Has your gas pain passed? Mine's gone, and never used a GasX strip. Lots of walking helped. Although the things that I have found to be far worse than gas pain are coughs, sneezes, and hiccups. I don't seem to see talk around these 3, and they are far worse than gas pain IMO.

triciakae 18 Posted July 27, 2015 I was sleeved on the 20th also and mine gas pain was gone about 2 days ago. The remaining pain was from my hiatal hernia repair. My spasms are finally dying out but if I do take top big a swig of Water I have to straighten out for it to go down. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
