ChipB got a reaction from Longview Lady in November 2023 buddiesI just had my surgery yesterday. So I am day 1 with two shakes and water. Let me tell you. Not much pain from surgery but lost of gas and it can be painful. They say I must wait it out. Didn’t expect this. Getting better but first day was hard. Anyone else have this?

ChipB reacted to ChunkCat in November 2023 buddiesYup! You've got to walk it out. Walk as much and as often as you can. Gas-x sometimes helps a little for some but walking and time are the only cure. ?I'm two weeks post op.

ChipB reacted to SomeBigGuy in November 2023 buddiesMy surgery isn't until Monday, but I've heard several people say the gas pain up through your shoulders is the worst part if everything goes well. Sounds like it lasts around 3-4 days, but does improve each day. I've also heard the more you walk, the faster your body processes it and gets rid of it.
Anyone post-op able to confirm this?
EDIT: I was typing this as @ChunkCat was responding. Thanks for confirming!
