I've never wanted to pass gas so bad in my entire life. Im on day 3 post op and I'm beyond miserable!!!!!! Even when walking I might get a couple of burps out I know the gas isn't leaving like it needs to. I use the gas x strips and walk around the house every hour. I've yet to pass a single fart. I'm feeling like crap. I need help!!!! Advice please!!!!!

I wasn't able to pass gas either, I don't think it will come out that way since there's plenty of room in the intestines - with no food in there.

For me, it all came out as burps. All I can say is walk as much as you can and when you lay down, occasionally switch positions, that helped get the burps moving.

I was sleeved 2/20. I only started passing gas last night. Before they it was really dissatisfying little burps. I still have pain in my chest, which is telling me there is still gas in there. Walking and time are all that help. It will happen.

I had the same problem, couldn't pass gas to save my life!! I called my surgeon nurse and asked if I could so an enema, instant relief and have been passing gas ever since.

That's another thing I haven't had a bowel movement since the morning of my surgery. I guess it's from such a low intake. I'm going to try the enema because walking is only giving me very small burps and my shoulders are killing me. It's hard to relax and sleep.

I used the gas x strips and within 20 minutes I was having no trouble at all passing it. I too was miserable.

Don't you have to pass gas or have a bowel movement before they let you leave the hospital? I'm still pre-op but for both of my csections they told me I couldn't leave until I at least passed gas.

I was up an urinating on my own. So they discharged me. Since I was on clears both the day before and during my hospital stay a BM wasn't required as I did have anything solid to eliminate. As far as the gas, since I was burping they weren't concerned that I hadn't farted.

I was sleeved 12/10 and all I did was burping the first week. I never passed gas until a week or a week in a half postop.

No it was necessary because I was burping regularly. Today has been much better finally had a bm and passed gas. Never been so happy to do those things in my life.

I tried the strips and the chewables they only caused me to vomit, especially the chewables.

Only things that helped me was sleeping sitting up and walking almost every hour. It's such a relief to no longer have the pains
