Walking is the best thing to get that gas out of there. Walk, walk, walk up and down the hospital corridors and in circles around the house once you get home.

I had terrible gas pain in my shoulder from gallbladder surgery. I would try and position myself lying on one side for an hour, then sitting but leaning forward, then lying on the other side. I honestly don't know if it helped or just the walking, movement and time. but it was really bad day 2/3 and then went away pretty suddenly.

I have had many orthoscopic surgery’s and with some I have had the gas pains and with some I have not it’s just luck of the draw I gas. It will go away keep that in mind I know it’s extremely painful the gases are escaping from your body through your skin it’s not through your typical way hope walking does help. Another thing to keep in mind is do not drink Water with ice ice will actually cause more gas maybe use the swabs for your mouth rather than the ice cubes good luck sweetie keep us posted

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!

      Having gall bladder surgery in a few days and I so hope the recovery is easier than the one from the modified DS! I could use a bit of luck/pep talk for a change. I'm starting to be able to walk around without experiencing dizziness, but it would be great if the random pain in my chest and abdomen would go away!!
