Gas pains post op

Had my surgery Monday. Curious to know how long people experienced gas pains for. I feel like if they were gone I would feel a lot better

Ugh! The gas pain is the worst! I had surgery on Monday and by Thursday the gas pain was just about gone. I took Gas X strips, it helped to move the gas, but the gas still felt trapped. I had surgery on Monday, discharged on Tuesday, gas almost gone by Thursday.

Gas x strips didn't help me. The best thing I found was simtheicon chewables. They really helped a lot. The gas subsided for me at around 2 weeks post op

It was two weeks to the day that my gas pains went away. Didn't seem to matter what I did to try to get rid of it lol - Hope it goes away soon for you! And congratulations on your surgery!

Gas pains lasted about a week for me. Gas x chewable helped but the things that helped most was walking a lot and a heating pad. The heat helped the most for me.

Can't find the right foods to eat.My stomach still sore where the holes are. Off all diverse meds. Have heartburn occasionally. Getting the water and protein in is a chore. But it's all goid
