How long is this gas in my chest going to last??? I'm 3 days post op....

It can last for a week or more. The only way you can get rid of it faster is to walk it off. Walk walk walk

gas pain

OMG

everytime i see how much gas prices have gone up i get severe pain!!

as we're all gonna tell you - walking is the only way for gas to be gone

hopefully both your gas, and the gas at the pump - will improve shortly

good luck with the rest of recovery

enjoy your trip to a healthier, happier, longer life in sleeveland

Thanks Kathy!!! I needed that laugh!!

Mine was bad last night and not moving. I paced in my room during commercials, took 2 gas x strips, some milk of mag, and a heating pad for about 20 min on my tummy at low - it was slow, but it worked miracles. Also, when laying in bed rotate from side to side rather than laying flat. I'm 12 days post op and it has not stopped yet. Today's goal - get the bowels actually moving. I was going fine until 4 days ago. I have been wobbling all around my house today to walk, drinking water, and taking stool softeners. Nothing! Just pulled out the weapon of coffee and Miralax - so I will see. Can't wait for things to get back to normal - as normal as it can be.

Hi Nique!! We are both three days post op!! I had gas in my chest and my back. Like the other ladies said, walking and moving around helps. I also found that drinking hot green tea helped me too.

I'm starting week 3 now and everytime I swallow my drink or food, I can hear the gurgle and need to burp LOL I hope it stops soon because it's embarrassing

My best friend bought some gaviscon, she said it helps her with just regular gas. Do you all think it could help us?
