O wow. I'll try gas x then, because tums isn't working. lol. Is your gas severe?

I am 8 days post-op and the gas has been horrid, Is all I can say is walk, walk ,walk and it will start passing, I also got docusate sodium from the doctor to help with constipation and it works great.

I am post op day 3 and have gas pains still...walking seriously helps. I took a gas X strip yesterday in the hospital (brought with me) and it helped.

Hope you feel better soon!

when you aren't walking, sit in a rocking chair, cross your arms over your tummy, lean forward, and start rocking. This kind of motion will also help get gas out.

walking and gas x strips for sure

I am 11 days out. I only had about 4 days of bad gas. The day you get off of Clear liquids, Water down and do about 4 oz of warm prune juice. It made me go! after that it was like the gas was blocked and it dissipated inside of a day. Good Luck
