A lot of people have said they use anti-gas strips from the pharmacy... I really can't remember their name though, sorry :( hope you feel better soon and congratulations on a successful surgery :)

I had surgery on 7/25, I've been using Gas-X Strips and the Prilosec OTC that my Dr. recomended for the fisrt 60 days after surgery. They definatley help. Right before I was discharged fron the hospital yesterday, I was given a Dusolex (sp?) suppository and about 2 hours later...major gas relief. Hope this helps!

Trust me ...I KNOW THE FEELING. I had gas pains for 2 weeks and it tends to spread all over the body. At one point it was stuck between my lungs and rib cage and I could not breathe. I used gas x, heating pads, chewed gum and walked during every commercial on tv. I wasn't in any pain from the actual surgery procedure, it was ALL GAS...ugh...sorry

I was sleeved on 7-24-12 and I didn't have pain from the surgery, but from the gas as well. I was told to walk a lot to get rid of it, it didn't really help me. You can try Beano or Gas X-strips. It took about 3 days for the gas to start letting out, now I feel fine. Good luck and just be patient, it will go away.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.
