Checking in
Good morning.
Its early day 2 post op and I'm surprisingly feeling pretty good, aside from the terrible gas pains. I haven't been taking much pain meds but this gas pain is killing me. Any suggestions,other than the obvious walking, which I've been doing constantly, to help release some of this gas??
the gas to me was worse than the actual surgery...
my surgeon gave me permission to have yogurt and that helped break it up.
also tons of fluids will help and moving.

I'm finding that gas-x was really helpful last night when I finally started to feel some gas build up. Funny I also started farting like crazy once I had yogurt in me. Good luck, it's very uncomfortable.
