I am three weeks out and have noticed that I have a tremendous amount of gas in my stomach, especially after I eat. Is this normal? Can I take gas x or anything for it? Any sugguestions?

Im having that same problem at 4 days post op...Its normal the doctor told me it can last a couple of weeks...walking is the best thing to relieve the pain from gas. I use gas x strips they help but they dont help all the time. best thing is to walk. I walk back and forth in my house alot lol

Can you burp? My first weeks post-op, I couldn't take a sip of anything without burping afterwards. And yes, you can take Gas-X.
