Wow Whats A Guy Got To Do To Get Rid Of The Gas Pains...and Help Is Greatly Appriciated

Walk walk walk walk walk...Gas X...walk walk walk walk some more!

And after that, walk some more.............That did it for me

I was just banded on October 25. Because of everyone on here I knew to walk as soon as possible and a lot that really helped me. I have had very little dicomfort with the gas.

This forum is so very helpful for all of us newbies to get advice before the next step.

Thank-you everyone.

I was banded a month ago and had horrible gas pains up under my ribs and felt like I couldn't even breathe sometimes because of it. I was using Gas-x strips but they didn't help at all. I switched to the extra strength Gas-x chewable tablets and it really did help a lot. Moving around as much as possible helps too.

Yep, be the little engine that could.....toot your way to relief, and I am serious. Burp and (ahem) fart EVERY chance you get. This is not time to be a lady (or gentleman). GO FOR IT! Heating pad works well also. You can also take the PAIN MEDS. That's what they're there for....PAIN.

Walking did not shift mine. I had such severe gas pains post op I was given Morphine twice. It doesn't last for long (a couple of days bad, then bearable with regular pain relief). It went completely by 10 days post op.
