How long did everyone experience gas pains after the surgery? Every time I swallow water or anything it hurts going down. It has improved a little since my surgery yesterday but still hurts like crazy.

Walk Walk and Walk some more.. if it is gas then that's the only thing that is going to help.. It can take up to a week for the gas to completely go through your system but it should be less every day. If it is preventing you from being able to sip that is definitely an issue that you should talk to your doctor or nurses about if you are still in the hospital. Make sure you are only taking very small slow sips as larger ones will create pressure and discomfort. When in doubt talk to your doctor, if the pain is in your throat that may not be related to gas.. I hope you get relief and answers soon.
