I know exactly how you feel!!!! The gas pains were the worst part of the surgery. It feels like the pressure in your stomach is just gonna explode doesn't it? First of all take GAS-X. This helped me alot!! Also I found that if I laid on my back with my legs straight it pushed things around more. I also would get great relief if I sat on the edge of my bed and leaned over on a pillow and rocked a bit back and forth. This seemed to relieve the pressure in my stomach by passing the gas. It will pass eventually !!!

I didn't have gas pains in my abdomen, but I got one heck of a gas bubble stuck in my chest and left shoulder on the fourth day.Which, lasted for about 3 days. I just had to stretch it out and reposition all the time. It was bad!

Girls,
you are not alone. I had my TAH on 1/26, came back home on 1/29 and this morning I got up at 5 and walked around the apartment like a tiger in his cage since I thought I am going to explode. The walking around did help, I passed some gas (was not pretty!) and the pressure seems to be gone for now. I only have a stool softener and have been eating oatmeal with prunes, chicken soup and apples - so hopefully by today something will 'materialize'. For me the walking around did help.

I tried to be careful not to eat any gas producing food. I know it helped because the few times I went ahead any way I sure felt it.

Walking, Gas-X and laying on my back were all good gas relievers for me. I'm 4 weeks now and I'm still pretty gassy, especially in the evenings.

Someone told me to drink mint tea and I did and didn't have any gas to speak of. You might want to try it. That was the thing I dreaded most about the TAH, but thankfully I never got it. Try the tea. Hope it works for you too.
