RNY Pros what is best for gas n bloat?
I look like I am going to pop. 3 days post operation and letting out very little gas.
Walking about every hour, used miralax but upsets my stomach, using gas x and nothing...
Any suggestions?
Sorry, those first few days were pretty brutal. Try Milk of Magnesia as an alternative to the Miralax. I know I took GasX/simethicone chewables like clockwork those first 2 weeks. It'll eventually start coming out. I remember trying different positions, like bending over something in hopes that a little pressure would help.

It's not gas like you normall have gas. They inflate you like a balloon during surgery. So, it doesn't pass like intestinal gas.
Keep walking and drinking. It will sort itself out.
