My sweetie is very uncomfortable 4 days out of surgery.
No one seems to have any magic way to get the CO2 bubbles out.
Any suggestions? On meds, using heat.

Hi Dotty, is your sweetie walking around and drinking plenty of fluids??

Try lying flat on the floor, no pillows, for about 1/2 hour. This worked for me. Also, some people have used anti-gas meds (GasX) for relief.

Walk walk and walk , drink plenty of fluids and when lying down , lay on your left side, with knees up.

I don't remember having a lot of pain from the gas, but then again I was on pain meds for a couple of days from the surgery.

Walking was the only way for me.

I know how bad that hurts, I figured it just takes time.
