**UPDATE GAS PAIN IS SO PAINFUL**

Hi

I am so glad that you are doing well and NO blood clot. I am losing weight pretty quickly too. I have to watch myself because I keep forgetting that I can't lift etc... and I have been doing stuff around the house that I probably shouldn't. Gonna rest up today. Was out this am and am tired!

Gas-X is not indicated for the pain caused by laparoscopic surgery. The CO2 gas used during surgery irritates the diaphragmatic nerves and that pain is referred upwards eventually landing in and aggravating the shoulder. Heating pad and hot tea may provide some relief.

Umm thanks... I guess its informative for others as I am 6months post up and way passed that stage.
