Walking, walking, walking, walking, walking.... and time.

Short frequent walks are best.

Yep. Walking is the cure. The GasX strips never helped me at all. Just keep taking short walks and the gas will go away.

walking helps and riding in a car( as a paaenger) helped me,, the bumps loosened up the gas ...

I will third that. Walking is the best and really the only way. Plus, it helps with your overall recovery. You don't have to overdo it, just short, frequent walks will do the trick.

Next week will be so much better, and every week after will be better than the last.

Hang in there!

I have had that with other laparoscopy surgeries and simethicone (spelling?) pills really helped as well as walking.

thanks all .. how soon did yalls gas pains go away? Mine are still trapped in my chest and just enough to piss me off lol

Mine stay for about 4 day. I walked several times per day . It helped. I also did light stretches to work the gas around. Walk and stretch...especially when it was in my shoulders back and chest.....I had horrible gas. Almost unbearable.
