Gas [emoji31]

I had my surgery June 1st. The gas in my stomach and left shoulder actually stops my breathing. I take GasX and move around as much as possible. Any other suggestions?

    I have not had my surgery yet, but I have heard a heating pad helps a lot. Feel better soon!

    I will try the heating pad, thanks.

    Very disheartening; I just stepped on the scale and I weigh more than I did on my surgery day!

    You will be swollen for a while after surgery. They pumped you full of IV fluids, and you will have a lot of swelling because of the actual surgery itself. Keep sipping fluids, you will be fine.
