Gas pains post op



Recommended Posts

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.

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
