A member asked:
I had a laparoscopy yesterday morning and i have really bad pain in my ribs and shoulder is there any way to get rid of the gas faster?

Ambulate: Laparoscopy uses carbon dioxide which is readily absorbed by the body. Most patients however are given a bowel regimen to clean out the intestines. This maybe why you feel a lot of gas. Ambulate to get your body back to normal. Sometimes depending on the procedure there could be air in the thorax and this requires an x-ray to see. Check with your doctor to let them know your pain.
