GasX and lots of walking are your best defense against gas. And, I always recommend a heating pad on your tummy, it feels good and relieves some of the discomfort in general.

Iam hurting too, juju and just a general feeling of blah. They did a hernia repair to do too. I can't seem to get a deep breath and my port sight is sore. To be expected I guess. My ex husband stayed with me and my son last night and helped massage a lot of the shoulder gas out. Also, the liquid pain medicine makes me drowsy....all normal I suppose. Couldn't talk yesterday bc tube had irritated my throat. We are going to make it girl!

The gas is pumped into your body cavity to expand it a little to make the surgery go easier for the surgeon....it is then extracted when finished but there is always some left...it will travel under the rib cage and up to the left shoulder.....

Gas-X works inside the digestive system, this gas is outside in the body cavity.

On the surgical wing in hospitals it is a standing order to get the patient up and walking as soon as possible....this is the only thing that will help...not re-leave it, but help it move and dissipate faster.....

Gas-x and heating pads may help you feel better, for other reasons you may even be aware of, it has nothing to do in relieving these type of surgical gas pains....

I don't know about the pumping gas into to your body until after the fact but it was the most painful thing I've ever experienced I pretty much thought I was gonna have a heart attack and died I still have some but for the most part its better

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
