Walking was the only thing that helped the gas pains for me - I walked every hour on the hour. Gas-X didn't help because it was the gas they pumped into me that was causing the pain.

It will be gone soon - hang in there, it will get better.

I was walking around hugging the doorway. I even asked my mom to burp me, I was in that much agony.

aw wow! I am not sure if this is the same pain experienced by those with gallbladder disease...but if it is...I know your pain! with GD the gas and air was trapped throughout my entire digestive system. I was also in agony. the worst part was the problem couldn't be fully resolved until I had my gallbladder removed. sometimes the pressure, bloat and gas was so severe that I had to take shallow breaths...I couldn't even fill my lungs up fully without screaming in pain. my back, chest, under my ribcage, my sides...EVERYTHING hurt. hang in there, remember to walk, walk, walk it out, and I have seen others say gas x or Prilosec helped them immensely.

Omg that gas pain is the devil!! It is the most ridiculous pain ever ! Lol I feel better today with it than I did yesterday on my surgery day ...

That's the thing, I'm felt like it never passed either through farthing or burping! Lol so idol where it went! But I had my drain tube removed yesterday and that made a big difference. Feeling a lot better without that! Not feeling naw much gas either.

I had my surgery Tuesday and have gas galore. I can't drink anything but Water because it is like a gas bubble forms in my esophagus. I get my drain tube out Monday. Fingers crossed that will help.

Yes, almost a week. It is really a nuisance and I hope when it comes out, some gas will go with it. The gas is really the only pain I am having other than just soreness.

This is exactly how I felt. I had surgery wednesday. I got my drain out today, and not only did I instantly feel better, a couple hours later I had the best fart/poop session evet! Hah. I'm still full of gas, but the pains are SO MUCH BETTER now that the drain is out.

Ditto. Getting my drain out was like a total release of pressure. Plus a nagging pain under my rib cage disappeared immediately.

It's also awesome how much easier it is to get up and sit down after she removed the drain.

I know!!! I'm not feeling like I'm dying every time I lower or raise myself off the toilet, which I was.

Yes! My dad has the higher toilets at his house. I have the normal low ones. So peeing at his house wasn't terrible. I went to go the first time here last night and thought I wasn't going to be able to sit down. I finally did. But in was so surprised how much easier it was after the drain was out. And how much easier it is to wipe my girly bits after it was removed. Hahahaha
