I Had my surgery on 7-25-05... gas pain!!

This gas is killing me ,do anyone have any suggestions.. plus I can't feel the urge to urinate.. I just go when I feel like the gas is building up.

Marlene-I had some problems with gas when I got home from the hospital. Some people take Gas-X but I found even though I didn't feel like it walking was the treatment that got rid of it for me. I walked all around the inside of my house. As far as your urge to urinate, it could be as simple as not taking in enough fluids. It happens to me as well when I did not drink enough water. However, it's always best to call your doctor. Hope you get to feeling better soon. The first week is always the hardest. Take Care, joyce

Hi Marlene, I tried gas-x but it didn't work. Then I tried Mylanta and it was much better. As far as the urge to urinate..I found when I was on the pain meds (morphine and then the Vicodin) I had to work really hard to pee. It might be that too. Take care, Amy www.closertofine.net

Thanks for you help.. I had my 1st appointment today i've lost 15.lbs.. and my doc said to walk.. as far as the urinating problem she said maybe it's all the anesthesia I had,it may need to wear off more.

All I can say is WALK,WALK,WALK. Try to walk for 15-25min. if you can and this will bring you relif. Watch what your drinking maybe something is giving you to much gas. try to stay away from those things. But I find that when I drink something that might give me gas and that's almost everything then I walk and it the GAS goes away. Try it!!!! And if you do everything right and your still in alot of pain then call your Doctor. Hope this helps, Bonnie
