Gas, Gas, & more Gas

I am 4 days post-op and I still feel the gas in me. How long before it goes away?

It took a week + for the gas to go away. 1) gas x is your friend 2) if it's in your shoulder do some arm circles it helps move it in that area and3) keep walking! The gas will pass!! Keep it up

Short sharp karate chops to the shoulder blades will get rid of all the gas pains immediately.

I'm 6 days post op and have had a lot of gas as well. I've taken gas x and it's helped a lot! Feel better!

Walking is my best friend. Releases the gas and takes the pressure off of my stomach from when I lie down.

Thank you all for the encouraging advice. I am a very impatient person and I have never had surgery of any kind before. I am learning to play by the rules and be patient with my new band.

Gas x helped me a lot, don't leave home without it!!!!

When you start soft / puréed foods eat some Activia. It helps settle your bowl track. It really helped me along with the Gas X and I am 16 days post op.

I found and still find that if I walk a bit the gas dispels as well as massaging the abdomen in a mostly circular pattern.
