I'm post op from july 3 and still have sharp gas pains up by my left shoulder 16 days later. Did anyone else have this problem?

Yes!!! I thought I was going to pass out! I couldn't sleep...no position was comfortable...sitting, standing...I was miserable. I had to push pass the pain and WALK! My doctor said that this was the only way to cause your body to absorb the gas and he was right. Mine only lasted 2 days but it was terrible! I hope things get better for you! Just keep saying...this too shall pass!!! :-)

I'm post -op since Monday. I've had the worse time with gas. I walked and walked and still could not pass anything. I called my doctor and they had me take milk of magnesia to stimulate my Bowles. It has been the only this that has helped with some form of relief. I still have terrible gas pains in my chest and stomach and its constantly rumbling, but it did help a little bit.Good luck to you!

I still have some gas tightness/pain in my stomach and chest area, particularly when I try to eat or drink anything. Like CA, I'm also post-op since Monday, and I also walked my behind off in the hospital and it didn't help AT ALL. At one point I remember being desperate enough that I asked one of the nurses to try popping me with a pin . The gas is starting to subside a bit, but I am still feeling it.

The nurses found me asleep laying over my bed on top of 4 pillows trying to push anything out . It's still so uncomfortable but getting better very day! I now developed thrush on my tongue! This really sucks! But still looking forward to getting better and pushing on! Next week will be better!
