Hello, I am now a post oper!! Today is my first day home. The gas pains are unbearable. Taken a Pepcid , a gas ex and I'm sitting with a heating pad on back. I can't burp or fart. It seriously feels like a heart attack. Anyone have any suggestions??

Did the doctor give you a script of Levsin? If so put that under your tongue, chew a gas x and get up and walk a bit.

No rx other then for pain. The gas ex helps a bit but not for the shoulder pain.

I had the same problem let me tell you walking works wonders I was stubborn in the hospital and didn't walk when the pain hit I walked and was passing gas and burping in no time. Hope it helps. Congrats!!

Walk walk walk. Seriously- I personally do not believe gas x helps that gas. It's trapped inside the cavity and gas x is for your your stomach. Walk walk walk

Walk, walk, walk, walk!! Frequently. The farts will come!

Yup walking works wonder....i had the same issues....gently pat yourself on d chest if you feel a burp coming....helps!!! Feel good soon
