Guest guest Posted July 14, 2006 Report Share Posted July 14, 2006 Hi : I am 7 1/2 months out and I remember that they told me to walk, walk, walk....Best for getting rid of gas from surgery...Someone at the 6 month group meeting recommended GAS-X strips, but I would not do them so soon after surgery...It will pass, but I do remember it was very uncomfortable....Drinking, measuring food, taking all supplements and walking were the most important things to accomplish the first few weeks....You will do great!

Guest guest Posted July 14, 2006 Report Share Posted July 14, 2006 , some decaf Mint Tea will get the gas off your stomach. Any type of mint tea (make sure it is decaf).

Guest guest Posted July 14, 2006 Report Share Posted July 14, 2006 Chances are, it probably might not be gas but if the mint tea is consumed, if it is gas, it will rid that problem out. I think because of what is happening, I would call the surgeon that did the surgery and just let them know what is going on and see what they think it might be. I would not want to play a guessing game. Pam Marsh --- HI There! wrote: > this is prob NOT gas.

Guest guest Posted July 14, 2006 Report Share Posted July 14, 2006 leeI had gas so bad for about two months, it was in my shoulders, back , under my ribs, it was so bad I couldn't stand it. All that seemed to help to some degree is walking, it took a long time for me to release gas (burp or fart), once I was able to release the gas then it started getting better. Keep moving and only time helped me, sorry I know it does get painful at times. Take care.

Guest guest Posted July 17, 2006 Report Share Posted July 17, 2006 Hi , First off welcome to the other side!!! I had something similar, an air pocket stuck right under my left rib cage. The only thing that helped was, walking (any kind of movement) and sitting/laying a certain way, which for me was on my right side. It did take me some time to figure it out. But just know that the pain will faid away. everyday it would get better and by the end of week 2 the pain was gone. Good Luck!

Guest guest Posted July 17, 2006 Report Share Posted July 17, 2006 I had gas in the shoulders, under the ribs, it would move, but it took me about 6 weeks before it was all gone and no pain. No matter how long it takes it does get better and goes away. Walking made me it move and feel better when the pain was bad. Take care.
