Gas Pain!!! UUHGGGG!!!!!

[willsmommy 2]

I had my surgery yesterday!! I am super excited that the pain is minimal, but the gas pain is horrible!! If I didnt know better I would think I was having a heart attack!! I know walking helps, any other suggestions??

Also, did you wash your stomach the next day, and if so, what with? Thanks in advance for your answers!!

I had my surgery Tuesday. The gas pain was pretty bad but better today. I still have pain in my chest though and hoping that is gas too....Good luck to you.

You need to get gas x strips!!! im 4 days post op and the pain is almost gone!! And i know it sucks but walking it off helped alot.

I'm 10 days post op, and I'm still bloated. I get gas from milk products and the Protein mix as well. Ask your pharmacists for something over the counter like gas x strips.. .(sometimes they work sometimes not).

for a gassy stomach after drinking protein mix, i lean forward slightly and have my mom or sister gently tap my back, so i can burp and really it feels a lot better (your stomach's just like a little baby's right now, very delicate and prone to all sorts of distresses).

I can sympathise with my infant newphew now.. !!!

I am sending my dad out for GAS-X strips tomorrow. I got Gas-X chewable. Not helping. I'm walking a lot. Still feel like I am going to burst.

Try putting a heating pad on your tummy or back to help move the gas,, it really does help,,I have had several laproscopic surg with gas I know, also I find hot mint tea helps or tiny candy mints helps me if you don't have quick access to gas x strips,, then go buy gas x strips and keep around for the first month. When you feel the gas start to build up in your chest, get up and walk a little that will help it move out, then go back to your heating pad. Good luck,, it will pass.

Was the Question about the yellow surgical stuff they sponge all over your tummy or the wound/insision care? I let my strips fall off. I washes delicatly around my belly just not on top of the strips. when they fell off, I put Vitamin E oil messaged on the insisions (after the scabs came off too). I walked like a mad woman to get rid of the gas pains swinging my arms wildly about.
