Gas pains

[Stephy2014 16]

I'm almost a week post op and still have the pain in my chest and a Lil pain still in my abdomen, does this ever go away????

[catwoman7 10,874]

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..

everything i read and videos i watched says the best thing to do about the gas is to walk walk and walk as much as possible to get it out

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.
