    yes - it'll go away. I never really had pain to speak of, just discomfort - but after two or three weeks it was pretty much gone, as I recall..

    That's excellent. Pound the pavement in a straight line. I found the repetition as key to knocking out the gas. 5k steps around the house didn't do anything for me.

    My external gas (the gas they used to inflate my abdomen) was gone by day 5 but the internal gas (intestinal gas) lasted for a while (maybe up until day 14 but the first 7 days were the worst). I still get it occasionally but not as bad as just after surgery. It sucks and is painful. Reminded me of labor pains LOL.

    I was lucky in that regard. The one time I had MAJOR gas, i went and got Gas-X. It worked.
