gas

I have read on here about gas and how uncomfortable it is. My question is, are you talking about the gas from the lap or in the bowels?

Hi oven,
A lot of the gas comes from the anesthesia at the beginning. Some come from the bowels waking up after being moved and jostled around. After a while the gas will also, along with everything else come from the things that you eat. Greasy, spicy, starchy, salty, etc. etc. This too will pass

I had remembered how gassy I was after having an endometrial ablation a year ago. So when I had my TAH last week during my hospital stay the nurse gave me a pill which was the same thing as Gas-X. Let me tell you I've been taking this stuff at home and it works great. It helps with the painful gas and bloating feeling and I wouldn't go without it. I know it will take a few months before I get back to "normal" and I take it when I need it as it's quick acting.

A friend of my Mum gave me a massage last night. She explained that the gas from surgeries can build up and cause your shoulders to ache. You can bet that I will be taking the gas-x pills the nurse gives me. I don't want this lady to tell me that I am still gassy. How embarrassing.
