Gas tubes?

Did anyone have a tube to help relieve stomach gas?

I have heard this is possible, and having read some comments about trapped gas/wind, wondered if this might be a major plus on the comfort front?

I've never heard of anyone having that. FWIW, I had no gas pain, just a little bloating for a few days and an occasional very mild jab at my left collarbone for about a week after.

Ditto for me too - didn't have it and didn't need it. No gas pain at all.

Does anyone know how this gas "gets out?" I've been wondering about this for a while... since it's in your abdominal cavity (not in your digestive tract), I have been wondering where it "goes"...

my doc explained to me that your body absorbs the gas. I had little pain fro

the gas, a heating pad and walking did the trick!
