Hello everyone, i just had my first dr visit with my surgeon and we went over the procedure and the risks. Now i have been a little nervous about the possible gas pains after surgery. I heard it horrible and its the main thing i am concerned about. I asked the dr if the pain meds he prescibes helps with the pain. He said it will relieve it a little and that i would need to take gax x. i really wanna know what you guys have tried that relieved your pains? and Does the pain meds actually help with gas?

Had no pain, maybe a little discomfort. Walking around the ward helps a lot. No Worries!

Only had bad gas pains for a couple of hours the day after surgery. Just keep moving for it to work itself out.

I'm not gonna lie, gas pains for me were terrible. Every time I would take a drink of anything my chest would get so tight and I'd start freaking out but after a few minutes I'd burp and be fine. My doc let me take prilosec for gas and I walked all the time to try and get rid of it. Everyone's different though, hopefully it won't be so bad for you.

I have not had gas pains yet, but my doctor told me to take gas x if I did get gas pains
