Okay, what's the deal with all this trapped gas!? OMG! I am so tired of it!

What can I do? My left shoulder hurts almost all the time.

I've tried everything, I walk after my meals, I finally got up to 72ounces yesterday and I was miserable . I took 2 Gas X before bed, didn't help. I just kept tasting the minty taste of it trying to come back up. So I gave up and went back downstairs and got back on the treadmill yet again, still no complete relief . Then I stayed up and cleaned my house till 5:30 am. Back up @ 8am. Up ever since.

So now today I've only had 28-30 ounces tonight and 1 Gas X, an oxycodone and an Excedrine. Still same shoulder pain. But as type seem to be easing up.

What am I doing wrong? ??

Please help. Desperate for answers. Oh and my surgery was 7 days ago.

Please tell me this ends soon.

I don't know. Try side stretches and swinging your arms around.

Sorry, I never had the gas problem.

Agreed, you need to move to get the gas out. I would also try raising and lowering arms as if you are lifting dumbbells. The Gas X likely won't work because the gas isn't in your tummy.

Buddy if mine recommends Gas X strips. He said they worked faster than the liquid. I have some and only had a small bout of gas pain took a strip and it relieved it

When you lie down, lie on your left side. That position helps the gas ease up. I'm suffering a bit as well, but the left side thing really helps.

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
