I would have killed to be able to burp!

7 weeks out and I'm still burpy. I think it had to do with how I drink though. I am not a sipper... I have to choke down the waste in gulps because I tend to forget to drink when I'm at work. ..

Walking diffinately helps I had surgery on the 14th as well and once you let out the other end it will feel much better.

I am having the same issue. I had my surgery on Oct 31st and I still have constant gas pains. I'm wondering if this is ever going away!

That gas pain was the WORST. Walking helped me a lot as well as gas x strips.

I walked the entire time at hospital since you really can't sleep there...

and I still hear people say this is the easy way out...yeah, going under the knife subjecting oneself to pain, unable to eat only liquids which is torture I might add without a proper nights sleep due to he incisions...I'm keeping my surgery private at work but I'm so anxious to share, I'm excited, anxious, head hunger is killing me ...

I was in critical care and got told to stay in bed for the first 24 hours due to breathing problems but after that I was up and doing laps of the ward and walking all over the place with my morphine and fluid drips in tow. I was told exercise was the best way to shift the gas Within 3 days it was clear and I was sent home......... Sadly without the morphine
