I thought I was doing well today. However, as the day has moved on, I still have gas pains, and pain across my upper back when I take deep breaths. My upper arms are achy too. I coughed A LOT yesterday, not sure if that' swhat is causing the pain. Any ideas? Thanks!

Although I haven't had surgery yet, I have read others replies to this question.......they all suggest walking alot helps with the gas pains. Hope that you feel better really soon!

Walk and stretch as much as u can hun. Ad if u need to cough make sure u do to clear out the lungs. Hubby smokin in the house? If he is toss him on the porch til ur totally healed atleast. lol

Just a lil note to warn all pre and post ops. GET YOUR PROTEIN IN EVERYDAY!!! I have done rather crappy with mine since day 1 and I am paying dearly with VERY slow weight loss, major hair loss, and all out feelin like shit! PLEASE!!!! Follow your program's rules!!

Yeahaaauuuppp! Walking is the best solution to the gas after surgery. When I had mine, everytime that pain in the shoulder area and right/left side come, I'd go for a short walk and it would help alot! Good luck-- Dee

Dr. gellar didn't think that GAS X thin strips would work BUT MAN DID THEY!!! Have huby go buy you some. Cinnamon flavor worked for me. I took two at a time and it helped get it moving. U will still have t walk but it gets alot more of it out and A HEATING PAD!!! works wonderfully!!! glad your doing good dawn
