Gas x

[TamaraRae 15]

I'm 2 days post op and for the life of me I can not pass gas and it is hurting so bad. Can I take gas x??

@@TamaraRae Yes - you can take Gas X but please be aware that it may not help. The gas is more likely to be in your abdominal cavity from the surgery and not intestinal gas. The best thing for gas pain is to move - walk, rock back and forth when sitting, etc. Hang in there!

I had sleeve surgery on Tuesday and I have the worst pain in the middle of my chest. Like bubbles....

@ Call your surgeon to be sure it's nothing serious. It sounds like it could be gas as well - walk and rock back and forth and see if it improves but please - anytime there's an unknown pain - call your surgeon's office to describe it.

@ did you have a hernia repair as well? I had surgery on Monday and had terrible chest pain,,,,it finally went away yesterday. I think it was caused by the hernia repair.

No hernia.

It's more like gurgling sound with pressure.

I had the same problem. I found that if you get down on the floor on your hands and knees and then lower onto your elbows, this helped work the gas out. Your bottom will be a little higher than your chest. Looks and sounds odd but really did work for me!

Get up and walking as much as you can. It will go away gas x only helped me pass gas it didn't help with the gas they use to inflate me
