Use abdominal binder that reallly helped me through the first 3 weeks. try beano with food this will stop the gas from forming and Tell your Dr. they should have something for that. Simethacone is the drug of choice usually for babies and adults.

Thanks Debra, I'm Feeling a little better today but it seems the gas builds during the day, my stomach swells up and the pain comes. I've been drinking only water since a week before surgery. I get to start protein shakes in the AM I'm Scared I'm going to the Dr. in the morning so we will see what he thinks, I know he wants me to have a CT So pray I get a good report. Thanks and God Bless, Kelly

Your not alone Kelly, I'm suffering too. I'm 4 days post-op and I can't seem to find relief either. I'm calling Dr. Murr's office tomorrow to see what could be wrong. Hope you get to feeling better renee

Hi Renee, I'm 15 days out and I'm feeling much better so just hang in there and walk I have not been walking enough because of how weak I feel, But thats the key, I went to Dr and had a CT And blood work and everything came back clean thank God, Kelly

I'mbelchy every time I have anything to eat or drink. If I don't belch it can really hurt. I'm not doing anything for it. Just waiting it out.

I'm 3 weeks post op and remember feeling the same way. The only thing that really helped me out was to walk, walk, walk. I walked around holding my moshi (my favorite squishy pillow) to my stomach. Hope you feel better soon. Leisa
