GAS PAIN!!!

[MaMa_Bear 3]

Gas pain succcccccks! 5th day post bypass and it has brought me to tears 3 times! This isn't your overeating gas or your everyday burp/fart but CO2 that was injected into our bodies so doc could work that has to be absorbed into the body to be expelled.. gas meds and lying down flat helps they say.. but to my experience my pain was front under left rib so relief was to be on my bed in cat like position on all 4s and my hubs rubbed my back to kinda jostle the gas back around so the pain was dispersed and not all in a pocket .. the goal being to get the opposite side up for gas to travel upward as it wants to .. glad I figured out what worked for me good luck and God bless!

The only think that helps really is to walk as much as you can 😀

Ok I just did this and it worked! Take a pillow lay across it on the end of your bed for 15 minutes! Gas relived!

Ladies just want to encourage you to walk, walk, walk and to know it really does get better so start with the end in mind. I didn't feel like walking then but made myself do it to feel better it really does give some relief. I'm a little over 3 months and happy to say it felt like I would never get here and thankful it went faster than anticipated so know your time is coming soon ladies!
