Hello, I had surgery on yesterday 8/12. Was wondering if anybody else was gassy?. If so what did you do to help it?. I've been taking Gas X and putting warm towels on my stomach but nothing seems to help this gas from hell...

Walking/movement always helps the most. I also used a hot wet hand towel on my chest, that helped to

Walking around as much as possible is the only thing that will get that gas out, unfortunately. Fight through the pain of movement and it gets better each time you do so. Do an extra amount each time as well.

I cringe when I think about having that gas pain, it was awful, hope you feel better soon!

Is the pain up there with childbirth kind of severe pain or less? Oh Lordy...it’s a little scary

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
