Guys can you all share how long it took for everyone to be gas pain free? I am on day 6 post op and it seems that nothing is helping with the gas especially the gas in the shoulders.

Sorry to hear. Mine was gone by the third and fourth day. I know you are walking...just try to burp as much as you can...and you'll probably never hear this from me or anybody again, but try to fart as much as possible. ;)

I'm on my 6th post-op day as well after laparoscopic adhesiolysis. I didn't have any shoulder pain at all this time (it was my fourth laparoscopy) but this pressure like you need to burp and can't is driving me nuts. I can eat and drink just fine but the air doesn't want to come out as it should (neither way so to say :lol:).

Giving this time another few days. If it's not gone on the tenth day post-op I'm going to call the hospital again if there might be something wrong. My GP said today it should be gone at the tenth day at the latest. I've read that there can be problems for up to two weeks and even longer.

Blah.

I'm a bit nervous and anxious about this because I already had three laparscopies and except some shoulder pain never a problem like this.

My surgery is now one week old - don't know if it's wishful thinking but this pressure seems to be getting a bit less... :unsure:

Interestingly enough I can burp after I had something to drink.
