Gas Pains

[debby8892 14]

When does it get better? I had surgery yesterday. Im having a rough time. I have terrible gas pains and I cant keep anything down. I tried walking but I feel so weak and I have taken gas x and medication prescribed by my doctor. Any other suggestions?

Are you still in the hospital? If not - call your surgeon for advice. Make sure they've given you pain meds, a PPI for acid and an anti-nausea med. Try and get fluids in - take very small sips. Hot tea, warm broth, ice cold Water, sugar free popsicles - whatever you can tolerate. Hope you are doing better soon!

Gas pains are normal is what they told me. I found that walking helped me a lot,,,that and medication of course. It was actually a problem for a month and I just took medication faithfully. Wishing you a speedy recovery! Take care.

I had my gallbladder out years ago, same type of surgery. They inflate your abdominal cavity with gas so they can see what they are doing in there. The gas really isn't in your stomach. I had terrible gas pain in my right shoulder, but it only lasted a couple of days. The BEST thing I found to get rid of it was walking.
