Janie80 2 Posted December 3, 2015 Had my surgery Monday. Curious to know how long people experienced gas pains for. I feel like if they were gone I would feel a lot better Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
thbrown223 214 Posted December 3, 2015 Ugh! The gas pain is the worst! I had surgery on Monday and by Thursday the gas pain was just about gone. I took Gas X strips, it helped to move the gas, but the gas still felt trapped. I had surgery on Monday, discharged on Tuesday, gas almost gone by Thursday.

silkouj 76 Posted December 3, 2015 Had my surgery Monday. Curious to know how long people experienced gas pains for. I feel like if they were gone I would feel a lot better Gas x strips didn't help me. The best thing I found was simtheicon chewables. They really helped a lot. The gas subsided for me at around 2 weeks post op Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
miiasan 370 Posted December 3, 2015 It was two weeks to the day that my gas pains went away. Didn't seem to matter what I did to try to get rid of it lol - Hope it goes away soon for you! And congratulations on your surgery! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Djmohr 6,965 Posted December 3, 2015 Gas pains lasted about a week for me. Gas x chewable helped but the things that helped most was walking a lot and a heating pad. The heat helped the most for me. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
