Im 2 days post op..haven't had gas pains until last night when i felt pressure in my chest..felt like i was going to throw up, but instead of anything coming up, it was hardcore burping one after another i could hardly catch a breath i was burping so much! This has happened about 3 times so far...just scared

Yes normal take gas x strips and have someone pat on your back btw your shoulder blades

yep, normal, gasx will help, but it will really help to get all the gas out!

Thanks everyone!

Don't forget to get water in and walk...also a heating pad was helpful for me

My mother always said, "better out than in!"

Hey everyone. I'm also two days post op and have been having a lot of gas pain. I've been drinking water, walking around, and of course taking Gas-x. It helps, but I'm still in pain. I see that people keep mentioning heating pads, and this may sound stupid, but where would I put the heating pad to help with the gas? Thanks!

I put mine on my belly, from sternum down.

U might not ever get rid of the gas, I had surgery in Sept 2012 and I still get the non stop belching or well u know lol I tell people just don't get to close lol mostly us girls and I just try to stay far enough so I don't get embarrased if guys r around and about the heating pad I had a rough time so I just used my hot water bottle on my back but they also say to put a lot of pillows behind u , I know when I did I could sit & sleep better I could also get up eaiser but if the Doctor prescribed u pain meds TAKE THEM ALSO SIP SIP SIP that's my only suggestion that worked for me but try diffrent things so u can find the one that works for u .
