Stupid iPhone. How long before gas pains go away? I'm sorry for spelling errors!!

For me the gas pains went away pretty quickly but I'm still feeling bloated and my surgery was on 6/4.

My gas finally went away after 5-6 days, so you're close! Hang in there! It get so much better! :)

I am only 2 days out and the gas is probably the most painful thing right now. I just get up and walk around or stretch out as best I can when they hit. I was told that gas-x wouldn't help the surgical gas though, it just has to be absorbed and then passed. I hope it all goes away soon. Then I'll be ok.

GAS-X MADE ME THROW UP BUT HELPED A LITTLE! HANG IN THERE....WALK AS MUCH AS YOU CAN. MY GAS PAIN WAS MUCH BETTER ON DAY 3 AND ALMOST ALL THE WAY GONE ON DAY4. WALK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The gas lasted a few days for me but the bloating is still there - I was sleeved 06/13. The bloating needs to go!!

i am 8 days post-op and the gas pains are starting to subside! I walk, walk, walk and walk some more. I don't go on long hikes, I will make a couple of rounds about 5-6 doors down and turn around. I do that very frequently so that i do not get exhausted but am moving. I do it all day and night. I'm sure a couple of my neighbors wonder about the crazy lady in the robe! lol
