Bloating And Gas Pains?!?!

[adamfishaa 139]

How long do they take to go away?! It seems that they are the only thing that still hurt!!! I had my surgery 11/20/13, how much longer do I have to endure this pain?! Any tips or tricks to get rid of the gas faster?! Thanks!

Walking helped me when I had my band out and heat packs because the pain had gone into my shoulders.

I'm due to be sleeved in 7 weeks.

Keep up the great work 6lb in 3 days is awesome

If you're meaning the gas from surgery, it can take up to like two weeks.

BUT! then you could also have gas pains from food. I'm almost a month post-op and I still have gas pains from food.< /p>

One of the nurses from my surgeon's office had the bypass and she's four months out, still experiencing gas pains from food.

I'm two months bypass and the only time I have pain is with dairy products, Beans (actually in the chilli) or if I consume too much sugar. Greek yogurt doesn't bother me, nor non-fat cottage cheese, but milk itself yes. I use GasX, and walking, walking, walking helps especially so soon after surgery.

My gas pains went away by day 7. I walked A LOT and just moving around seemed to ease the pressure. My 1st couple of days, I felt like I had one of those Alien "chest burster" critters sitting under my ribcage. :-)
