Terrible stomach gas after TT. Advise?

Question

I’m on day 2 of my post op and have terrible gas in my stomach. I’ve been taking gas x but doesn’t do too much to help. Any advise would be greatly appreciated.

I encourage you to reach out to your surgeon as opinions may vary.  Review your diet for foods that can cause gas and bloating.  Moving around as directed by your surgeon can also help the gas to escape and give you relief.

Thanks for your inquiry, please call your surgeon to discuss, the rest of us on the site do not know the details of your procedure or your overall health profile.  Good Luck.
