Whoever it was on the forum that suggested using a heating pad for gas pains.....THANK YOU!!! I am now on mushies and my pureed taco soup caused some major G.I. pain tonight. Without the heating pad, I would have been it tears!

Nice! I know I've been saying that. It helped me a lot after surgery. It just feels good

Oh my, I will have to try this. I was just banded on Thurday and my chest is hurting so bad from the gas. I think I would feel ok, if it wasnt for that. Trying not to take the pain medicine today and only tylonol. The other stuff just makes me drowsy and have blurried vision. thanks for suggestion!

I read that somewhere on here when I was banded and it helped so much, so I try to pass on that advice whenever people mention gas pains. My biggest pain issues post op were gas pains, and once I started using the heating pad on my 2nd day post op, OMG what a difference.
