Gas

Ok just got surgery 3 days ago. Am home now and am having terrible gas pains. Any remedy I can take for it or to lessen the pain.

    I had my RNY surgery 9/5 and the gas seems to be the worst of it. I am walking a lot but will try the heating pad and maybe gas x later. Thanks for the advice postings. :)

    This too shall pass ;). The gas pains are horrible, but it will be better every day. You're right with walking, the more you walk the more gas will be gone... I know how bad it is, trust me; I was in pain to the point I was crying and asking myself what I put myself through... It got better... Warm pack will help, but be careful with putting it on incisions... I was warming my lower back a lot :) good luck!!

    Sublingual Gas-X was my best friend after surgery. I took them as needed. Pills/chewables are less effective compared.
