I had my surgery july 19th so im new.. Just wondering is there anything else i can do to relieve this gas? Im walking taking gas-x it helps a little. How long does this gas pain last? I really wanted to go back to work sunday please any advise

everyone is different but mine lasted almost a week.

everyone is different but mine lasted almost a week.

A week?? Oh my! I really hope mine doesnt last too long. Have you done anything else besides walking and taking gas -x?

A heating pad helps a lot.. I tried taking tums, gas x it helped a little bit. whenever you are not walking or sleeping put the heating pad on in bed or in a chair.

The only gas pain I had was in m left shoulder. It lasted for 3 days. I used a heating pad and the "Magic Bag" you put in the microwave... both really helped. Walking also helped with the shoulder pain. I had no other issues after day 3.

Hang in there... it does get better!!!
