When Does The Gas Pain End??



Recommended Posts

I'm in so much pain today. Day 2 post op and the gas pain is almost unbearable :( I'm taking 2 Oxycodone every 4 hours and on a heating pad. Please tell me tomorrow will be better?! I can tolerate a lot of pain but this is knocking me down......

Same thing happened to me. Take some GasX and walk around howevre much you can. It will help tons :) feel better.

Gasx gasx gasx!!! chewable worked but I liked the strips best. Three and four at a time for a day or two but they helped alot. Don't be afraid to walk a lot. I am 13 days post op and it is all a distant memory already. I started feeling much better when I backed off the hydrocodone. During the day at first then less at night. I stayed heavy on it at night because the rest and sleep was so good.

Stay strong it will be nothing in a few days.

Hey Roxy!! I feel yet. Pretty bloated here. I'm on tylonal with codeine but only taking about every 6 hours. I'm better with less meds. That's what was screwing me up. Gonna fit in some warm showers today and little walks. Feel better:)

I am one week post OP and I would say around day 5 or 6 mine still got better. I still have some but not nearly as bad, I went back to work today, I am a nurse and am on my feet all day and I think it has actually really helped me. I wish I had walked more in the beginning but I was so miserable I just rested and took the oxycodone. I tried the gas x, didn't help me at all.u doc said it wouldn't because the gas is basically in your abdominal cavity and not in your GI system but I hear it does work for some. Good luck!

I am day 5 today and for most of today the gas pain was better, there were a couple of times that I did need to take my pain meds. Each day it did get better. Hang in there!!

I've notices on this and some other discussions that people at a similar stage to me ( 5 days post op) discussing there need/not need to use their pain meds.

Can I ask some of you what pain meds you were sent home with and the length of time your doc said you would need use of them?

As I said before I am 5 days post op and was sent home with NOTHING!! I've been suffering in silence and am beginning to think my doc is just plain mean

I'm five days post op and the gas is so bad today, for some reason I just can't get it up! I've tried everything! But then I tried gripe Water, it's really for babies with bad wind but it REALLY helps get the wind up :) I really recommend it :)

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
