Hi,
I've had two surgeries and the trapped gas pain was much worse the first
time. I think what made a huge difference for me was that I moved
around a lot after the second surgery and the gas pain subsided in a few
days. The first time around it lingered for a week or more. There is
really nothing that helps with that gas pain. In fact, I would think
one of the drug companies would be all over a drug that would relieve
that pain because it really is awful.
