Will The Gas Ever Go Away?



Recommended Posts

Day 8 post op and gas still comes and goes and pretty much doubles me over. What I want to know is, is gas something we pretty much have to deal with from now on? (Yes I am walking...A LOT). Thanks!

I'm day 9 and mine is pretty much gone. Once in a while my left side feels a little tight and I'm a little sore but that's it. Are you taking the gas x strips still? Hope it gets better soon!!

Yes, the gas does dissipate... and the time it takes varies as everyone is unique. You are definitely doing the right things to get through it.

By the end of the second week, I was feeling good again, and only knew I had the surgery because of the changes in my eating and continuing healing of my incisions.

Gas X will not work on the gas used during surgery... The gas is in the abdominal cavity gasx only works in the intestines.

That gas is the worse! It will eventually go away. Just continue to do what you are doing! So many have expressed other ways to get rid of it and I can say I did it all so can't really tell u what works!

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.
