Please tell me how to get rid of this gas pain. 2 days post op and omg. I've been walking and burping but I want it all out now.

My surgery went well. Surgeon said I did great and he know I'll be a success story. I'm excited! But please what can I do to alleviate this gas real quick? Help!

Walk, walk, walk! Try gas-x strips and make sure you are using your Spirometer. It is not fun, I know! This too shall pass...good luck with your journey...

WALK.... WALK... WALK.... Did I say WALK again!!!! The gas has to be released, in order to do so you have to move around, trust me I know, everyone knows that they aren't a happy feeling. I would highly suggest Gas-X Strips, they work wonders, I'm only 1 month Post-Op and I faithfully keep them in my purse along with Zofran, have to stay prepared at all times.

I was discharged yesterday evening. Now I'm trying to walk around so I can get this gas on out of me. But I feel okay. Just want a healthy and speedy recovery for us both.

Thanks so much, praying the same for you as well. No gas pains for me just some pains with the healing. Nothing major, my PA said get tired of doing a WHOLE LOT OF NOTHING for 2 weeks. Nothing more than nothing until she sees me in 2 weeks. So I'm doing just what the Dr.Ordered......NOTHING[emoji23][emoji23][emoji23][emoji23][emoji23][emoji23], and staying hydrated.

I'm okay. Still have the gas pain but it's easing. How are you feeling?! Day 4 post op!

I'm doing good, some tenderness but I'm ok. Has the gas x stripes been giving you any relief? I've been passing gas and belching pretty good[emoji23][emoji23] (tmi I know) . Prayers that you start blasting gas!!![emoji23][emoji23]

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
