Gas Pain after VSG
Walk walk walk! Getting moving will help the gas get out of your system.

Julie is right - WALK WALK WALK! The night of my surgery I was up walking the halls every couple hours. Got lots of steps in! :)
I also took Gas-X a couple times, though that will really only help gas in your digestive system. The gas left over in your abdomen...best thing you can do is walk.
Also, lots of people also get some relief from a heating pad.

Greetings, I am a new member. I had the VSG on 10/17 and I wanted to know how did you all monitor or take this gas pain. Did you take OTC medications, how long did it last? Can you give me some insight? This gas is the worst lol.
