Today is day 2 post-op. In the hospital I did fine, no air and baby sips of water. Well when I was living today they gave me a pill pain reliever. So I took it with a little water and ever since then I feel the air inside me. I’ve walked and continued to sip on water but I’m still in a lot of pain. Has this happen to any of you guys?

Different kind of "air," I would take a chewable gas-x and see if that alleviates things for you. Walking around only helps with the post surgical trapped air, not air in the system. At the beginning I also found that forced belching helped a bit with that gas pain.

I used Gas-X many times for the first week. It works great and fast!

Thank you, I’m currently using the gas-x strips but I’ll try the chewable as well.

Walk, walk, walk, and try laying on your left side. It really helps the gas pass.
