Hi there, I am a week post-reversal and wonder if anyone has advice re: cramping and gas relief. I was relatively prepared for the frequent runs to the w/c and the ermm ... sore posterior but I wasn't expecting these wickedly sharp pelvic cramps likely due to all the gas that builds up. Has anyone experienced the same? What kind of things have you done? I've tried a heating pad over my abdomen and I get out for frequent walks around the block to get things going after a meal. I've asked the surgeon about something like Gas-X, but she did not recommend it. Thanks
