The Guess-Work On Gas!?!?!

I really hate the feeling of heartburn.

That awful, deep pain … ugh!

So now I am reading more and more about the horrible gas pain post-op and I wanted to see if we could gather some anti-gas advice!

Walking is sure to help keep it moving … but …

Can we avoid it? :unsure:

How long does it last? :blink:

Can we take anything for it? :huh:

Beyond a good toot or healthy burp, can we get rid of it? :o

That is awesome! I figured walking would help, but I hear others talk about the pain … glad yours went well! I hope to share the same good news! Thanks! :D

I didn't really have too much gas at all. I drank peppermint tea the first four days post-op and then got burnt out on it. About day 6 I got gas pains which only seemed to get irritated by movement of my arms. I was constantly walking and the pains only lasted four days or so.

Mine were not terrible at all, but I know some get them bad.

Had terrible gas pain first 2 days. Walking DOES help to get it out, I also took gas ex. Once I started burping on day 2 I quickly got better
