Hang in there. I am 12 days out and had the gas problem too. John is right gas x strips but also take zantac 150 or something like that and walk, walk, walk .It really does help. Also a heating pad works like magic. It seems that my worst days were day 8-10 for some reason then I slept on a heating pad for a night on my back and side and it really helped make me feel better. I feel really good now.

It has been a wild ride. The first week was tough and I was in alot of pain. Take your pain medication. After that everyday got better. I had a slow down, but now the weight is coming off. Good luck.

Hang in there....it will get better and you will be much healthier. I have three more days to go for surgery in Tijuana with Dr. Garcia. I am armed with GasX, and a small pillow for the plane ride back to cover my tummy....good luck

Yes, a heating pad or pack! slept with one for nearly 2 weeks on the middle of my back. The heat transfers through to your belly and helps the gas move and soothes the muscles in the whole area.
