rgmoe_718 7 Posted September 6, 2015 I am 5 Days post op and I have the WORST gas in my chest coming up to my throat. Everything I try to drink comes back up or just sits in my esophagus like a lump and periodically seeps back up. The only thing I've been able to tolerate is Jello and ice pops. I've tried several home remedies to help release the gas but it's not getting me far. HELP ???? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
britt_lewis2011 46 Posted September 6, 2015 I'm day 4 post off and my gas was pretty bad yesterday. All I did was walk and took some gas x. Helped some and I had a bowel movement today so it's better. Good luck! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Teddy Rey 10 Posted September 6, 2015 Gas x strips after meals or baby gas drops before meals helps me. I also do a lot of walking after every meal. I take omeprizole every morning Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
WorkinOnMe 596 Posted September 6, 2015 I had horrible gas days 2-5 post op. I used maximum strength Gas X strips & it helped sooo much! Lots and lots of walking to move the gas too. But the Gas X definitely made it easier to get through. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ai1992 53 Posted September 14, 2015 Walking and Laying on your side helps a lot. My mom had the surgery, so did my dad, and then so did I. Moms a nurse and if it weren't for her tip to lay on my side... Life would have sucked. It helps release gas pain. Hope this little tip helps someone!
