Can anyone give advice on tips to relieve gas pain post op?? Thanks

walk ! gas ex didnt help... it will just go away mine took a couple weeks.

The gas X strips worked great for me and worked fast.

gas x strips worked some what, it took two days before it was better.

Some nurses swear by peppermint tea. I tried it the first few days post-op, and I did not have any gas pains. I did get gas pains around day five, so maybe there's a correlation with drinking the peppermint tea... I don't know. I just knew I could not keep drinking so much peppermint flavored tea

I found a heat pad the solution for me

Walk walk walk and take Gas-X Chewables also take maalox liquid

Heating pad and rolling my shoulder works.

I have done the blood clot walk. It also has helped with the gas pain. I have been banded for 41 hours.

gas ex strips worked well and walking outside around the block. The rolling shoulders also helped me. Took around 5 days to go away.

Gas-x chewables, heating pad, and walk walk walk!

Hearing pad and hot showers. Life savers.

yes, hot showers are a life saver for me!!! I am 4 days out and still getting some gas pain.....let the hot water beat down on your back!!

I think I'm getting gas pain from eating fast ( and sodas), Its mostly pain in my left shoulder.

Thanks for all the great advice! Heat pack and showers plus walking helped. Now I am day 5 post op and I am starting to feel pretty good.
