I am 8 days post and have had gas pain from the beginning. Can't catch my breath pains. Please tell me it'll get better! Please!

Gas ex is very good that’s what I was told to take because it dissipate it

Ty I am taking the gas x but it is for the stomach. This gas is more from where they add it to your bisy during surgery.

Yes this will be ur life.go hide and do ur thing. It’s the nature of the beast

Generally if it is gas pain, it should be easing up significantly at 8 days post-op. I found walking really helped to control this pain.

I didn't understand the term "bisy" so maybe you could be more specific. An internet search only showed the abbreviation for Biomonitoring Information System for the Yukon

Sorry James...I meant body. I was sitting yesterday talking to someone when I had a gas bubble move...they could SEE it move! Lil aliens in me! BTW I have walked and it really doesn't do much. Lol was wondering if anyone else has gas this bad? Otherwise I feel great?!

For me the gas pain was generally resolved in the first few days.

Right after surgery, I became lactose intolerant. So whenever I drank milk or other products with lactose, it lead to bloating and was quickly followed by diarrhea. So I went off all lactose for a couple months and then my body returned to normal.

Some protein shakes contain lactose.

Also, while you were in the hospital, most patients are given antibiotics as a general caution against infections. Antibiotics kill not only the bad bacteria but also the good bacteria in the gut. Therefore it is important that once you cease these antibiotics to restore this good gut bacteria by taking probiotics.

According to the internet: People who are lactose intolerant may develop symptoms from using a probiotic supplement. Some probiotics contain from milk, which can trigger bloating, gas and diarrhea within a few minutes after ingesting the supplement.
