My gas pain is getting worse :thumbup: It is in my left shoulder and slightly in my neck. It hurts to move. I am taking GAS-X. which helped yesterday and this morning. I don't know what else to do.

I feel for you. My gas pain was really bad last night. I too took Gasx but really didn't start feeling better until I had a BM. I hope you feel better soon!

I'm with you BAND75, my gas pain is really bad. I drank some smooth move tea yesterday so just waiting for that to kick in. I notice the pain in my left shoulder and across my chest. Hoping it clears up soon!!

My husband said that I passed gas all night and felt better immediately after waking up. Less than 2 hours late the gas was back again. I can hear it moving through my tummy. I had a BM this morning. My funny husband asked what did you crap...a popsicle. I hope this passes quickly.

Hilarious husband! I can't wait for it to pass. I haven't done alot other than burping, but had some fun gas moments this morning in bed. Was hoping that would continue all day but it didn't. I have so much pain in my chest and left shoulder. Hoping it feels better tomorrow for both of us!

I used a heating pad last night and it helped a little. It seems like nothing helps for more than a half hours. I am going to get on the treadmill later. I fell better standing and moving around. My energy level is low.

I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but these so called shakes really suck!!! I purchased the chocolate flavor from Bariatric Advantage. I'll tell you after a week of this I may go insane! I don't want to get dehyrdated or loose my vitamins stores, but darn this crap is nasty! I just spilled it on my nightgown and it looks like bird crap.

The gas pain is horrible...I take Gas-x, pepcid, and Tums!! I alternate between them. My incision is pretty sore also. I can't sit for too long, I can't lay down for too long, I cant stand for too long! AHHHHHHHHHH! Can't wait for this part to be over. The good part is that I have lost like 7 pounds since surgery! It takes me 3 sittings to eat a 6 oz yogurt! I am sick of the shakes so what I do it put 2 scoops in 4 oz of skim milk and ice, blend it well so that way I only have to drink it once a day instead of twice or three times. I wanna sleep on my belly again too!!

The gas was pretty intense for me.I walked a lot and lol it sounds funny but I kind of did a semi squat to lol loosen up.It helped me.sorry if thats to graphic.

I'm having on and off pain too...... my right shoulder has been complaining. I've been talking "walks" throughout the house to try to get stuff to move around.

I can say I've been a gas factory as well.... burpin' and fartin' throughout the weekend! Finally went #2 this morning, and I've noticed a lot of the bloating is going away!

Ladies, i am in pain. I am going to call the dietician. I am shaking and fell very out of it. I am home by myself and a little scared. The vitamins and shakes are making me feel nausous (Spelling). If I hurl felling this bad, i think I am going to pass out. I prayed that this would be an easy transition, I guess not. I cannot fart or burp and the BM did not help. When i walk I feel dizzy, sitting makes my tummy hurt. I am getting so fustrated, I am in tears.

ABSOLUTELY call your Dr.! I hope that by now you have talked to someone and are close to getting relief. Praying in Indiana!

I'm so sorry you're feeling so bad. Definitely call the office and see if you can drink a different shake or something. I had trouble drinking my shakes, and so I started using a spoon. I'm able to get them down much easier that way. Please give us an update after you've spoken to your surgeon.

Any news??! Hope your okay!

Band75- I hope all went well with you, it sounds like you may be very dehydrated.

I too have a lot of gas problems, my left shoulder I swear if I could just saw this SOB off I would and with no anesthesia, I have done Ice and Heat no luck, it really hurts the most when I breath in and when I first wake up. I have been using phazyme and Gas X strips but this is the pits.

Now I have this grapefruit size ball under my port sight to above it, I called my Surgeon and he said not to worry about it is very common, now if I notice any color change under the skin and so on to give the office a call then. I still have all six of my stirrie strips on but no extra pain or discoloration. so I guess I am good but keeping an eye on it.

but it has only been five days since major surgery and I need to keep that in my mind.

I keep checking back to see if Band76 has posted again. I hope you are doing ok!
