I have had this feeling since 2 days post op. I really haven't told my dr directly, but the nurses say it's gas. We'll this is the most painful gas ever. It hits n moves for a space of 7 seconds....it does feel like it could be gas, but a gas ball? Should I call the dr or try a home remedy?

I haven't had my surgery yet, but when I had my laproscopic tubal many years ago and they used the gas to blow up my stomach, it hurt for a few days while the gas traveled through my body. I can remember it hurting especially bad in my shoulders.

Walk walk walk and gasx!!

yes it hurts like hell. you would never think gas pains would be as high as they get after surgery. it is ffrom the gas they pump you up with. mine took almost 2 weeks to go away, but it DOES go away. you just have to wait and let it pass. good luck!

talk to your MD, that's why you pay him/her!!!

Talk to your doctor. It could be several things, not just one thing. GasX never hurts, though. I should have stock in GasX company.

After this procedure everything you probably eat will cause air buildup in your gut. Make sure to walk walk and walk. This will move the gas and also taking chewables gas x should give you some relief. If not contact your physician.
