Tonna 0 Posted January 21, 2018 I had surgery on 1/19/18. Doing pretty good but now having some painful gas. Any ideas on how to help move this along other than stool softener? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Aran1030 26 Posted January 21, 2018 I walked as much as possible and that helped me. GasX didn’t help me much. hw: 246 sw: 235 cw: 215 gw: ? Sleeved :Dec 19, 2017 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Molly23 275 Posted January 21, 2018 Walking is the most helpful thing. Otherwise, used gas-x strips or chewable tablets. Just make sure you don't use the gel caps. My surgeon said gel caps are a no-no after surgery, for at least 6 months. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Losebig 508 Posted January 21, 2018 It depends if it's gas inside or outside of your stomach / intestines. Gas X will help with intestinal gas, if it's more surgery gas then the pain will be in the shoulders and walking and a heating pad will help too. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
