When do the gas pains from surgery start and how long do they normally last?

A week or less. Doctor should have given you something

I never had severe gas pains, just felt bloated. I got up and walked every 2 hrs. Also chewed on GasX if I felt too bloated.

Hot decaf tea helped too.

Never got the shoulder pain ppl talk about,until I went on regular diet 4wks out and its a nerve pain that lets me know when I've eaten enough. I really hope it Doesn't go away. I like the reminder.lol

it happen to me for the first week....walk alot every two hours when you drink anything do it slowly one sip at a time

Thanks, I have noticed if I drink too much too fast, I feel a little gas. I will take it slower. Nothing bad so far. I had read all the advice on here and started the walking right away so, maybe that is helping!
