GAS PAIN - HELP

[BrookeR 25]

When does the discomfort from the gas pains go away?!? That is the only thing that I feel like is holding me back. I still have soreness as I am only 3 days post op but these gas pains from taking small sips of anything are terrible! When do they stop?!?!

Walk, walk, walk! This will help get rid of the gas. It takes about a week before it's gone. Hang in there

What brow eyes said, the only way the gas goes is by walking, the more you walk the quicker it happens. I also did a few arm exercises (NO WEIGHTS) this helped me.

And how long do you recommend we walk for?

I was up walking every 15-30 minutes. I took walks outside and inside. I also slept upright for the first two weeks

When I tried sleeping in my bed, those gas pains were horrible. In the hospital, I had a large recliner that I wanted to take home with me [emoji4]

I sleep with 4 firm pillows to keep me upright. I started doing this about a year ago due to reflux/heartburn issues. sleeping like this post op is natural to me.

at the hospital I did laps of the ward every hour for 20 mins out of sheer boredom. Now that I’m home I do 30 mins on the treadmill each day.

My gas is gone now

Pearldrop when was your surgery? I have been burping and passing more gas today so I am hoping that it’s on it’s way out!

Mine was Monday 4 June.

I passed a lot of gas! I was very musical.

I’ve had a few procedures over the past few years and have a routine to get rid of the gas, it sounds silly but it works for me.

When I’m walking I rotate my arms in the air like sideways windmills.

When I’m at home, I stand in the lounge and wave my arms in the air and have a little dance.

After a few days all my gas is gone😀

And I would guess each day you are starting to feet herel better, wish my surgery would get here so I could start on my,own recovery to better health!😛

For me they eased up by around day 6

Frustr8 please prepare yourself for the first 48-72 hours. They are brutal!!!!! I don’t want to scare you and you will do just fine but it is rough! Today I went to the grocery store and to take my kids to get some new outdoor toys and did well. The gas is for the most part gone but I am still sore but it gets better everyday. Good luck sweetie!

Sounds like being 9 and a half months pregnant except you burp and fart! And don't think then I escaped pain, I had so much BraxtonHicks before that I went to the hospital and got sent home 3 times, the 4th they went ahead and induced my labor. You have heard of women complaining they looked like a Tomme Ripper cup, I just looked like a tall salami!

It took me about a week to get rid of the gas and go #2. I was super uncomfortable too!
